Postcard: Amidst the Flames

valborg

We’ve all taken photos at some point where images and other oddities are “captured” in addition to our subjects. I remember once while alone in a cell in Auschwitz, I was having problems with my flash. Once I finally got it working, I snapped the picture only to develop it and find two “faces” in it – one on a cabinet wall and one within a picture on the wall.

Happened to be in Sweden during the Valborg celebration – where bonfires are lit up all over the country to welcome spring. Spent some time studying  photographs of shooting flames, and my mind made out faces and body forms within the fire. The one above isn’t even the scariest photo in the bunch.

Similar to deducing rabbits and other creatures from white puffy cloud formations, its always fun trying to see how far one’s imagination can stretch.
