Fire Spirits

 This is from my "fire" series. I had done this photo shoot during the Pima County Fair. 
Today I'm showing you the more interesting side to humanity. Fire and movement with the body. It's more abstract but I'm working on capturing the "spirit".
 Humans can at times inspire photography. Not often:) I still like my birds, unicorns, and hidden gems. But I am also fascinated by the art of movement. In fact, one of my favorite shows is anything that has to do with Cirque De Soleil.
 I think these images capture the desert well. When I look at these two shots above and below, I imagine the ancient Native Americans moving with fire to ceremonial dances. And during this night event, I am reminded of their presence. Until tomorrow....

    1. Holy Moly....you are alive!!! So glad to hear from you. Don't feel like you have to catch up and respond to each post. It's just nice knowing you're okay. I know how it gets. I'll be doing a blogger break this Thursday until Monday. Stay out of the heat....it's really really hot right now. Glad you're there and that Tracy is well. Me:)

  10. Fire IS alive! In the bonfire or torch fire, I see fire spirits dancing. Fire dance is collaboration of dancers and fire spirits. In Japan, fire is sacred and used for purification, and there are various spectacular events using fire. Your photos took my breath away. Some of them look like abstract painting.
