You almost saw Academy Lamps I in the 2009-09 Free Study. That one was in black and white and the lighting a bit more dynamic. But this one in color gave more attention to the flames/fire so I did not convert it.
Really did not have time to shoot or think of shooting much of anything else as I was doing a photo diary for a visting poet since this past Thursday. So right before I started it, I shot this which happened to be across the street from the first venue of the diary.
