There is definitely something enigmatic and primeval in the burning fire. Whether it is fire in your fireplace or campfire somewhere among the pristine nature – it has definitely some unexplored power in it, which goes far beyond conventional definition in physics, explaining the fire as a rapid, persistent chemical change that releases heat and light and is accompanied by flame. It is not in vain that people say fire is among the things, one can watch without taking his eyes off.

There is also one more interesting thing about fire – watching it frozen on a photograph. Fire, as well as smoke, which is its consequence and satellite, are very dynamic, capable of changing their shape, color and form within a fraction of a second. Imagine how many new things we can learn about fire, catching all those moments with a digital camera. Indeed, fire and smoke photographs open the whole new way to look at fire, revealing new and unexplored faces of this basic element on Earth, once stolen from gods and presented to people by Prometheus…
