    the match project

    I would like to see what you guys can do with a simple prompt. strike a match in a completely dark room and shoot it during different stages of burning, from the initial spark to the fading glow.

    Interesting idea. Just need to find a way to hold both the burning match and camera so that it works out.

    May you have food when you're hungry.
    Drink when you're dry.
    Friends when you're lonely.
    And heaven when you die.

    Nice shots! I had never thought of using a full book of matches, nice twist on it. When I tried striking a match in the dark I really liked the lighting effects it had on my hand and the contrast with the background.
