"You must wish to consume
yourself in your own flames:
how could you wish to become new,
unless you had first become ashes?"

Nietzsche

Excellent shot. I wonder if this was the same expression of amazement and wonder when humans first discovered fire. Of course, it wouldn't have been a lighter at the time tho :). Beautiful quote too Ana. V

Une merveilleuse concentration de lumière au milieu de l'image, juste pour éclairer ton visage et ta main.
Oui, quelque chose se consume dans la nuit... et s'éclaire à nouveau.
L'idée de la mort et de la renaissance superbement illustrée, Ana. Bravo!

Good pix, in your own way.
My point is, any photographer is free to choose the motive.He´s free to work it their way.I, as the observer , do not question your way. But expect a common trait, the style, "your way". You already have "your way". That´s a good point.Not mine, but yours, indeed. I´m not searching for anything the way I do. This would be so stupid and I`m not.
I can think, this or that I would do other way. My way. I look at your works, through "your way", searching if you did follow your own rules, your trait.

You are drawing away the breath of my life.Into the depths of your infinity.Devouring my flickering existence as the last sweetness.Stealing away my warmth into your embrace.That no other can know the color of my soul, except you.And if I die,it will be in your arms.Or if I awake,from this dream, I will need your palm to press upon the fire of my heart.To know that I am alive.

There's a look of somewhere between anguish and religious ecstasy on your face, as if the light is your sole comfort leading you out of the 'long, dark night of the soul', the means of immolating your past and inventing your future. As always, your use of darkness to throw light on the hidden is peerless. I'm impressed too that you can get this so sharp, even the blue gas flame showing.

Awesome, and the tricky lighting is perfect. You're such a master at this Ana!
Guest 04-Oct-2006 02:24
Take a few more shots like this one before returning to ashes, Ana! Excellent clarity for this long exposure. You managed not to move - even burned by the flame. Excellent SP.
