“In the right light, at the right time, everything becomes extraordinary.”

~Aaron Rose

I took this shot a few minutes after the clock struck twelve on New Year’s Day. I had to go through major pains before I got satisfied of capturing a good one with that sparkling liberty stick…light…match…matchstick…whatever that is. The major hindrances that I was talking about were: First, that I was just using a mobile phone with no ergonomic camera buttons. [Haha!] Second, it was really hard because I was like holding the phone on my right hand, positioning the ’sparkling matchstick’ with my left, while at the same time I was looking for the perfect angle on the viewfinder. Third, the tiny sparks literally flew directly to my skin, er hand, which felt as if someone’s pinching me. Fourth, because the matchstick runs out of sparks on me. I had to use what, like 10 ’sparkling matchsticks’ before I got what you’re seeing up there. And last but not the least, I had to touch up [PHOTOSHOP] the raw photo so that those scrawny little pixels would be gone forever. Now tell me, ain’t that hard? Well, who cares if I had to go through those things? No one does, so whatever. I feel like a whining, stubborn freak writing all this hoopla.

May everyone have a prosperous year ahead!
