low-light photography

My reason for including this pic now--considering it was taken in 2004 was I was going thru some old pics on a hard drive and I didnt find the one I wanted...

points to note:

• this was not taken with a flash
• this image has NEVER seen photoshop--tho I did resize it in gimp prior to posting on the web
• ISO was 800, hence the grain

also there are "auxillary" issues that add to this pics meaning atm
