Topic: Burning Guitar. Had to share

Help Photo fairy.Picture on FB. I was burning a big pile of junk mail and old bills. My son found a junk classical guitar at a Red Cross Donation Box. I am an awful photographer. Can screw up on an instamatic. Every now and then, I take a perfect picture.This picture came out just perfect. The angle of the flames and the guitar in the fire pit. I had to share it.  Some may think it`s wrong, it looks really deep to me. What is your opinion??

Re: Burning Guitar. Had to share

This might make a good photo for a Caption Contest. Mason Williams released his famous song "Classical Gas" years ago. This would make a good album cover for classical guitar renditions of rock songs, calling it "Classical Combustion".

Re: Burning Guitar. Had to share

It is a very cool looking photo JJJ.  I will give ya that!  It makes me want to cry along with Phill though.  Course, my daughter has a couple guitars that she beats up.  I can barely call them guitars, because really they're just "toys" that if you try to tune them you're guaranteed to break a string or something horrible (plus, she thinks she should spin the tuners every time she tries to play, so there's really no sense TRYING to tune them anyway).  So I can appreciate what is truly junk.  I can see us burning them someday.  smile  I'll have to remember this photo and try get a good one myself if we ever do.

Nice snap!  Would make a cool album cover!

Re: Burning Guitar. Had to share

I already had someone in Italy ask me to send it to him. He wants to make a poster of it as a backdrop for his band. How can I say no to a fellow Guinea.
