I am so baffled by this month challenge!  This is a lame attempt. Perhaps....  TomDart.

I still haven't figured out your wordplay, but it looks good.

Just like on my stove burner... I hate it when the "pile lit light" goes out.


TomDart posted Mon, 08 May 2006 at 7:01 AM

Too early for me to tell everyone what I mean in the shot...you folks might have a better meaning  :)


PeeWee05 posted Mon, 08 May 2006 at 7:06 AM

Everything I come up with in my head just sounds stupid, the best I thought of is "sh*t on fire..."

Other than that, I have NO clue!

Hi Tom,

All the fluids from my brain are gone....Your pic is taking me to the non ordinary reality,  so ..the light is needed here.

Have a good day,

tofi

Doug and all, I do hope the meaning is not totally lost!   As the "time flies" example you gave used a clock, which is not acutally time but how we see it...the same is in this image.  Those candles, what kind of candles are those?  What would a little kid call those candles? 

I also hope I am not hopelessly out of the real meaning of the challenge...I think not.   Tom.


TomDart posted Mon, 08 May 2006 at 7:32 PM

Fuzzy Shadows...your guess is not it but a very neat thought you had. 


girsempa posted Mon, 08 May 2006 at 7:43 PM

Could it have something to do with 'the smell of fire'?

Actually, that is not it and not very close but a fine idea.   My my, there are some really creative thinkers out there!  Thanks.           Tom.

Birthday cake (although I must admit it looks like a strange cake) ;-) Aargh Tom, I guess I'll just have to wait and see, huh? I'm sure I'll love it! It's a great image!

This has been fun.  Thanks for coming to the party. I look forward to going to your party..with candles if you want.    Tom.

Actually, I like the shot and keep it.   It says other things to other folks not doing the word play, as photography does as photography does.
