Some candles last an hour
from In the Passing Light of Day, by Daniel Gildenlow
And others one full day
But I, I wanna be like the sun
That steady flame that burns on and on
I know that know one would really want to live forever if they could. It sounds like a good idea compared to death only because life had value in the context of death. It would lose its value – and what little meaning it has – without the threat of nothingness. But still, when I saw that #wish was the theme for this weeks #FlickrFriday, this was my immediate vision.
I captured images of a flame hovering over the glass and merged the images together in GIMP. I really enjoy how the reflections are all the way down at the bottom of the glass. I like the light and texture on the walls. The only thing that I don’t like was how I struggle to use the images of the flame that I had to construct the flame in this image: it somehow seems to symmetrical and inauthentic, but I did the best with what I had to work with.
