Well, This one was an experience! Don't feel bad if you don't get the idea. That's because this photo never became as clear in my mind as the rest of my photos did.
The best I can offer is that "Bright Idea" is actually comic irony. I had hoped to portray the concept that as the Day of the Candle began to fade, the Day of the Lightbulb began to "turn on," but right about that moment someone had a "brain hiccup" and tried to improve on Edison's idea by putting a lightbulb on a candlestick.
That didn't work so he started to scratch his head...
Technically, I used an old school desk with photo backdrop cloth draped over it. On the "seat" of the desk I placed a styrofoam packing crate stood on its end. That became the pedestal for the "burning" candle. Apparently, the Zoom Radial blur filter got me DQed because I was trying to convey the idea of zooming forward in Time! Oh, Well! :) |

I don't think I have ever seen a shot quite like this.
I'm also not quite sure what it all means either, but then again, I'm not very bright myself... |

| do not care for this image at all. The blur and the lights hold no intrest, it doesn't give me anything to work with. |

| Interesting idea. Bit too much of an arty execution for my liking, but I'm sure it will be to some folk's taste. |
