Quotes and Pictures For Life

Pyrotechnic by Jim Nickelson

Nickelson on his project:

The underpinning of my photographic work is an intense and abiding interest in science and nature. This interest manifests itself in my photography as I create work based on the concept of the passage of time, work motivated by natural rhythms and cycles and patterns, work exploring the mysteries of nature, or work simply inspired by the wonder of the natural world.

For my Pyrotechnic project, I became interested in how fireworks, as a quintessentially man-made object, mirrored many aspects of the natural world once they were abstracted to their basic forms.
