Burning Heart

35mm 3:2 motion blur sunset photo executed with the left to right panning to create the horizontal motion blur flowing across the frame.

It took a cool minute but Ocean County summer open and ready for business. And you know what? So am I. It’s a hazy, hot, and humid Sunday in the six-oh-nine, and I am glad I got my run and walk in early. It’s been a lounge around kind of afternoon vibing to the beat of rain drops on the windows and Stick Figure on the aux. Sure there’s yard work to be done, but there is also the perils of heat stroke to consider . . .

Anyway, I digress. Here’s a motion blur photograph I captured on 10 June, executed with the usual left to right panning motion to create the horizontal motion blur flowing across the frame. A coal fired sunset, a burning heart, and the power to change the world. A muse unmatched—within and without. Thankful and blessed does not even begin to tell this story.
