Thematic Photographic 6: "Light" v.1.0
While it's not exactly the suggestion I made, the Light theme does include the element of Fire, which is the kind of theme I've been saving the first shot for. It's is one of my most favorite photographs ever (at least of my own work). Partly because I like the color and contrast elements, but mainly (I think) because it represents the point where I really started putting things off-center on purpose. My so-desperately-wanting-to-be-ordered mind would have gone apoplectic over that much empty background at one time.The subject is a simple patio torch shot at a barbecue in Pittsboro, NC almost exactly 5 years ago (That's July of 2003 in case you're an archaeologist reading this 500 years from now).The barbecue was hosted by a local band that (if you're from here) we know as The Never. (Although if you were at this particular barbecue, you'd have still been getting used to not calling them The B-Sides.)The second shot was one of an experimental series that involved very long exposures, fast film (yes, film), a dark room and a laser pointer. And for this shot, an ordinary incandescent light bulb. I noticed that the coating on the inside of the bulb refracted the light from the laser and made the whole thing glow. So I shot a few frames of it. The finished shots were severely underexposed though and required quite a bit of adjustment afterward. An interesting experiment, if not quite the result I'd hoped for.
