14/10 - No time to reason

The latest addition to my smoke works series. This is the age of reason, yet, when we do not have time to reason, we commit the same mistakes. No amount of history lessons can fix this problem. comments welcome,

Hi Mehemt. Another brillant addition to a great series. Should this look like a sword through a heart as I see it, or did you intend something more abstract? BTW, I saw your profile in a British photomag recently. Congrats! This is a great body of work.

Sword

Thanks Bill! Your interpretation is correct. I am still working on this idea. When I shot the liquid pool, I wasn't going for any particular shape, like heart. I noticed this later, decided to use it. However, I am not entirely happy, my original intent was to show the sword figure as the source of the pool of blood and with the title make it more consistent statement. Now I am working slight variation of this idea to make this point stronger.

Amaizing portfolio you have....

BTW, Mehmet, not to get too political on your page but sometimes we have all the time in the world to reason and STILL make the same mistakes.
