What do you see?












I have uploaded this to JPG Mag for their "Title Me!" theme. So, what do you see? what title would you give this puff of smoke?

smokin


In an effort to get time out of the office and the right to treat the pavement as my dustbin, I have decided to take up smoking. OK, you probably know me better than that. I was amazed to do the calculation the other day, can you imagine that there are some people that willingly fork out over a month's salary every year on that filthy habit??? I guess they are doing their part for the economy, and think of all those jobs that pick up after them. Enough of that, how about the lighter side of smoke? Last Sunday I actually did take to some smoke; the incense variety. So, the house smelt like an afternoon in a Roodepoort material shop. Incense does have an up-side though, mix it with a camera and a flash, and voila, the weird world of turbulence opens up.

As far as photography goes, it isn't very complicated, just a little random. Not the kind of thing you would want to do with film, unless you have money to burn, who needs incense then - hmmm I wonder what euro notes smell like...

Let your mind wander, who knows what you will see.





















Simple elegant scrolls















A more complicated inner ear perhaps?





















An intricate script from a foreign land?






















The latest character to come out of Pixar?

















A tormented running skull? or the visualisation of tendinitis?

Lots of fun seeing what comes up. A few more weird and wonderfuls on my Flickr.

Wishing you some fresh air.
