Northrop Grumman B-2 "Spirit of Pennsylvania" (93-1087) on final approach to Nellis AFB during Red Flag 15-1.
I went into this session with high hopes but very low expectations. I knew the fire would consume the grass quickly, leaving scant time to compose and shoot. Lighting, poses, smoke density and wind drift, personal safety, not to mention core creativity, all had to come together in a matter of minutes. No pressure here; the ultimate spontaneity.
I was hoping for a sort of deranged Drew Barrymore look from the film Firestarter. What I did not expect was a series of images where Jill appears calm, serene, and utterly indifferent to the inferno rising behind her. Here she seems to float on wings of fire in striking contact to the white dress. It's like a clash of elements. The subtext is one of female empowerment and self assurance. A wonderful dichotomy of drama and beauty.

One impossible woman
straightening the chaos
she herself had brought
ashore.
P.S. She won.
â—‡ â—‡ â—‡
The late-night
conversations,
the laughter, the
lessons, the Portuguese
sailor shirts,
the
folded paper notes, the
man
who kissed her forehead
and
said he was going to
help her heal
were gone.
Yes, that man who
watched her
spread towels,
rattle ice cubes,
invent seventeen
characters...
and said,
"All right.
What are we trying
tonight?"
But even with all that
life beside her,
she remembered Khamis,
the man from Egypt.
She remained single by choice.
