Spirit of Fire
by Ann Chaikin

My bedroom

Took a 30 second exposure of candle light from a brass candle holder punched with holes. It is sitting on my dresser and projecting patterns of light on the walls and the ceiling. I used Photoshop levels to brighten the midtones and then the ink outlines filter to intensify the image. I see a strange figure looming overhead. Hence the title.
