Hot Spell

© David K. Edwards. Once upon a time this was an ordinary orange candle stuck in a carved and painted wooden candlestick. During a couple of weeks while I was out of town, La Jolla suffered a significant heat wave. During this, the orange candle softened and wilted most grievously. It droops and hangs. The brand-names Viagra and Cialis come to mind. Will you be ready when the time is right? Will you? WL U?

 

The photograph is poorly exposed and murky. It is intended as an element of reporterage: okay, granted, there was definitely a hot day in the snooty little suburb of La Jolla. But nobody on the planet gives a shit, frankly, and the photograph itself is not worth even the most fleeting glance. A cumbersome, foggy, amateur snapshot at best. Move on.
