Where Do I Fit In or Odd One Out

As I walked across the parking lot to the gym this morning the smell of bacon was drifting by from the restaurant next door. Talk about counter productive to what I'm trying to accomplish by working out.That bacon smelled so good.

When I got home I worked on some stock photography. My theme for today was "being different". So my goal was to try and represent that symbolically through my images. Using toothpicks and matches I came up with a few ideas that worked. Here are a few samples.

Playing with Matches

There is just something fascinating about flames. They can be a comforting or a horrible sight to see. Even a simple matchstick has an incredible beauty in its flame. I love the shape, colors and textures of a matches small flame. I decided to create a variety of images of matches in first a static shape and then later in its explosive form when it ignites and then following that the fluid burning shape and then when its finally extinguished.

In the making of these images I made sure that I had a non flammable work space and I had a safe secure location to place the spent matches into.

God’s love and blessings to all,
