Artist’s Description
This piece as it turns out is a tragic, true story of a lone man walking away from a photographer who loved photographing long shadows. The model was instructed to walk towards the flames until told to stop. Unfortunately, the photographer forgot to tell him to stop and so the model continued walking.
Horrified that he was responsible for putting the model in mortal peril, the photographer rushed in after him to try and save him. Not so much because he cared about the model, but the model was his first cousin on his mother side. He knew that if he didn’t do something, mother would not be pleased. And if mother isn’t pleased, the whole world knows about it!
The photographer did get the shot, but the film perished in the fire. I happened to be painting at the time and this is the only known picture of this tragic incident. As a side note, both men also perished in the fire. While I am not a member of mensa, I knew not to run into the flames. Laws of Darwin, you know.
I did hear the screams for what seemed like hours; the smell of burning flesh wouldn’t leave my nostrils for weeks. But what a painting! What a fucking painting!
