Burning in the Dark

When was the last time you lit a candle and enjoyed it's warm company during the dark hours of the night? Probably not very often, if you're like me. In my art class we had to narrate an event or idea over the course of so many panels and I thought the burning of a candle would be a great subject!  It was almost a surreal experience taking pictures of the burning candle over the course of the night, watching it change into these abstract forms. I may return to this again someday and explore it further....

Some quotes to ponder:

Religion is a candle inside a multicolored lantern. Everyone looks through a particular color, but the candle is always there.
Mohammed Naguib
  
There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.
Edith Wharton
