Burning Down the House



This photograph of a smoking pumpkin was taken after I had completed filming a video bit incorperating the 'fire on fire' pumpkin and some plexiglass with a patch of dialogue from the film "This is England" by Shane Meadows. After taking this shot, the cord attached to the light behind the pumpkin caught fire and extinguished the light, and now, along with the smoky aroma of charred pumpkin and burnt newspaper, the air in my studio carries a darting hint of immolated electrical conduit.

Happy Thanksgiving.
