Photo Essay

matchsticks

circle of light

March is a "Fire prevention month". i thought i could make a collection of photos that could well represent it. But as i go along with my photo session, i realize the true value of matchsticks...so i ask myself... when was the last time i used it?

- lighting candles during baptism of my sons...

- lighting candles for family prayers...

- lighting candles to achieve peace.

- to have light during brownouts!

-and a lot more...

third world country depend a lot on matchsticks...

i hope and pray making matchsticks will never be done at the expense of illegally cut trees...

    I got to your essay late, but it is very well written. The photos of the matches are set in wonderful patterns.
