...let it burn, let it consume, spread it around...

55 matches in the shape of a heart, on a wood floor.

For me, this was a bit of a stretch in imagination. I'm not a big Valentines day celebrator, but this gave be the opportunity to try something different than what I would do otherwise. Even though I've seen variations of the heart/matches setup, I wanted to approach it in my own personal, unique way. And there's 2 things that I really enjoy in photography: bokeh and light. I'll admit, it's not technically perfect, but I like the feel of this nonetheless.....

Lighting setup: natural ambient light and the flame from one match. Natural bokeh patterns from the match sticks (it gives me ideas). :) And, I'm really starting to like this sort of candle/flame light photography. :)

It's amazing I had time to sit down on the wood floor and play with matches. The setup took about 10 minutes.

Thanks to everyone for the time they took to stop by the last photo. :)
