[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
"I ne'er was struck before that hour
With love so sudden and so sweet,
Her face bloomed like a sweet flower
And stole my heart complete.
My face turned pale as deadly pale.
My legs refused to walk away,
And when she looked, what could I ail?
My life and all seemed turned to clay."

John Clare, 'Farewell'


I work for my college newspaper, and this afternoon I was assigned to create a feature photo for somebody's upcoming story on tarot readings. Of course, I had to incorporate the use of candles!

During post processing, this particular image led my mind to wander back in time; and it seems to be reassuring my informal theory that everything that happens to us is not always driven by chance. Fate is more clever than we think.

Hope you like :)
