The first day of my black and white photography class a year ago I was asked what superpower I would love to have. I chose to be able to handle fire without being burned. This week's assignment in digital photography was to shoot an "interpretive" self portrait. I felt the fire accurately describes my stress at the moment and my hopes to withstand it without being charred.
