Week Two - Fire and Water




My inspiration was a comparison again, but this week, of fire and water.
The first photo is of a candle I got in Sedona.  The candle has a cutout from the outer wax, so when it is lit, the flower cutout shows pretty colors.  I turned off all the lights in my house and simply let the flame be the lighting in my photo.
The second is the opposite of fire - water.  This is at Desert Breeze park.  Some ducks were swimming around and enjoying the water, and it provided a good contrast to my fire photo.

Week One - Life and Death






 Inspiration can strike in so many ways.  While noticing that my rose was dying, I had the thought to photograph spring flowers - the beginning of a new life.  The short lives of flowers and plants should make us realize how lucky we are to have so long to live.  Everything has its own life and death story.
