I haven’t taken a picture with fire in it for a while. But today was a good day to do so. I feel like I need to warn people not to play with matches or go take pictures of burning things (especially ones that you have caused to burn) without taking proper precautions. I think that flame can make for a striking picture, but it is better to not take a striking picture than it is to burn your house down.
Not all of my pictures directly (or indirectly for that matter) relate to cancer, but I was thinking about it today as I was working on an idea for my post and I’m so often struck by just how destructive it is. It’s kind of like fire. It can almost strike anywhere and at any time and it is so disruptive. It takes beautiful things and destroys them. You don’t have to be the one with cancer to get burned either, it harms everyone and everything that are near. And in the end you are often left with ashes.
