Stickville's prominent artist in residence, Dot, the flat paper doll, held up her hot dog on a stick with a determined look. “Flick, I need your flame, but be careful. Light roast. No drama.”
Flick’s flame flared brightly. “Drama? Dot, please. I’m a Bic lighter—it’s all about precision and power. Let’s fire this up!”
Within seconds, the hot dog erupted into a fiery inferno.
Dot shrieked, flailing the flaming snack in a panic.
“Flick! You’re supposed to toast it, not turn it into a bonfire!”
Flick smirked, his flame flickering smugly. “What can I say, Dot? I’m just too hot for your weenie.”
Dot bashed the flaming hot dog against a paper chair, extinguishing it with a puff of smoke. She held up the charred remains and glared at Flick. “Well, now it’s ruined. Thanks a lot.”
“Ruined?” Flick quipped. “That’s gourmet grilling. Call it ‘Hot Dog Noir.’ You’re welcome.”
Dot glared at him, her paper-thin arms crossed tightly. Flick beamed, entirely unfazed, as if he’d just won a cooking competition, though Dot's patience was wearing .. ummm.. thin.

Bic was founded by Marcel Bich in 1945. He and his partner, Edouard Buffard began manufacturing pens and pencils in France. In 1958, the company moved into the United States with the purchase of the Waterman Pen Company, based in Connecticut. Since then, Bic has introduced additional products such as disposable razors, drawing pencils, Wite-Out, a Bic phone and fuel cells.

Featuring the classic Dublin Bus Volvo B9 with its Alexander Enviro400 bodywork, caught strutting its stuff on route 140 at the southern terminus in Palmerstown Park, Dartry! This double-decker beauty usually sticks to the bustling route 1, so seeing fleet number EV 30 cruising the southside is like spotting a unicorn in a traffic jam. Route 140 runs every 20-30 minutes, whisking passengers from the leafy suburbs to the city center with all the charm of a slightly creaky time machine. A rare treat for locals today!
Now, let’s talk about that ad plastered on the side—BIC lighters starring the unlikely duo of Martha Stewart and Snoop Dogg! It’s as if Martha decided to trade her crafting scissors for a lighter to help Snoop spark up some gourmet herb garden vibes. One can only imagine the bus driver chuckling as he lights the way with this dynamic pair, turning every stop into a comedy sketch where Martha’s perfect candles meet Snoop’s chill beats!
And oh, the irony of EV 30 rolling with this ad—usually confined to route 1, it’s now bringing a blaze of humor to the southside. Picture Martha and Snoop debating whether to light a candle or a joint as the bus trundles along, with passengers wondering if the next stop includes a free lighter or a baking lesson. This bus is stealing the show, one laugh at a time!
The guide turns off all the cavern lights. It is pitch black. She then clicks her lighter that lights only the area around her face and a little of the cave wall behind her.
Happy Pioneer Day! 🎇
July 24th is a big holiday in Utah - it is the day we celebrate the Mormon pioneers who settled Utah back in the mid 1800s. We have a parade where most of the Mormon congregations enter a float representing some characteristic of the pioneers. It’s really a good time!
I took this image a few weeks ago - it was sort of a transition between the start of an idea and the finished one that I liked better. I still like this shot but didn’t intend to share - but hey, here it is for y’all to enjoy!

We have arrived at Khu Sx Bánh Kẹo Dừa near Vinh Long to see how rice paper, rice wine, and traditional candy are made.
First up is making rice paper. A finished one hangs from the bamboo drying table.
Rice flour is made into a paste of the right consistency for the maker to spread evenly on the cooking Pot - a pot of boiling water to stream the rice.
Once she is satisfied with the spreading, the lid will be closed and the batter cooked, well until its done - seconds, not minutes.
When removed from the cooker the rice paper will be placed on the bamboo surface to dry.
Are you ready to make spring rolls?
Remember, remember!
The fifth of November,
The Gunpowder treason and plot;
I know of no reason
Why the Gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot!
On November 5, 1605 a group of people plotted to blow up the Houses of Parliament, along with the relatively new King of England James I (who was also James VI of Scotland at the same time). They were caught before this could happen and one of the ringleaders was a Yorkshireman (regrettable) called Guy Fawkes, who often took to calling himself Guido. Fawkes was discovered guarding a cache of explosives beneath the House of Lords, enough to destroy the whole structure. He was tried, found guilty of treason and hung, drawn and quartered (a nasty but popular punishment of the day). The aim of the plot was to blow up the King, his counsellors and the Members of Parliament and replace the King with a Catholic head of state.
Thereafter, there were celebrations every fifth of November with fireworks, the hanging of Fawkes and the pope in effigy and much revellry. Bonfire Night, as it came to be called, gradually evolved from an anti-Catholic ceremony into an excuse for celebrations, drinking and giant fires!
The mask I am wearing in the photo was made popular by the Alan Moore and David Lloyd graphic novel V For Vendetta and was also seen in the movie of the same name. And for the record, Guy Fawkes never had a Bic lighter.

First up is making rice paper. A couple of finished ones hang from the bamboo drying table.
The pot on the stove is where the rice paper is cooked.
Fuel to heat the cooker is from the rice husks and can be seen on the left side of the heating unit.

The ranger turned off all of the lights inside Cathedral Cave to show how dark it is. Pitch black. One of the visitors had a bic lighter. The guide asked him to light the cave.
And as he lit up the cavern I was able to capture the moment without a tripod.
A great friend who hasn't quit smoking yet was visiting. The collection she left on the coffee table as she looked out the window was so compelling I had to shoot it.
Wonder why lighter shots are so popular ? Took apart old lens and taped the curved lenses to my kodak - it allowed me to take photos from jus a inch or two away and still focus - could never get this close before !
UPDATE - searching GOOGLE I found that some one used this photo for a french news site in a article about the economy (in france). They did credit me by putting my name under it. I know I cant copyright someone elses product (Bic Lighters)but can they just go to flickr and take what ever they want without permission ? i wonder if i can get in trouble for having my name under it even though it was never intended for that purpose and I was never asked.
Someone recently asked for one of my pics for a web site and i was happy to give it and they gave me credit for it and supplied a link to it.
