This is my first ever use of photons...

It's not a terribly good use of photons, because the caustics generated by
these shapes don't appear to be very interesting, but it was fun to make.
Something I didn't previously know about photons: aside from the pretrace
gathering stage, they don't appear to slow a render down (count was set to
7.5 million for this image!). The only reason it took 3 hours was the
area_light coupled with all the glass...

Anyway, here it is
Bill
