Ball of Light - Crazy Days! - a photo on Flickriver

THE BALL OF LIGHT MOVIE IS HERE! : www.denissmith.com.au/about/ball-of-light-movie/

To suggest the last 7 days have been crazy, would be a significant understatement. The Ball of Light film has gone crazy!, we are now into the tens of thousand views!

I was in Sydney for a few days last week while all the action on the net has been going on. I came home to an insanely full in-box. The amount and variety of emails has been genuinely, and literally overwhelming. Many questions about how, many invitations to the most exotic places on the globe to search for the Ball of Light (no offers of flights though, damn), but most enjoyable, and exciting for me is the amount of correspondence from people who found the film inspirational.

I truly was not expecting to hear that I have encouraged people to look at their own lives and feel some change could make them better and happier.

We (Sam the film maker, Kyrie my stunning wife and I) are sitting down this afternoon to try and develop a plan to try and make the most from this little project that blew up. We want to try and make contact with the people who have questions. We want to help the people who are looking for it. And the people who want to buy prints. It is going to be a fun afternoon.

SO, I thought I would look back over the past few months of Ball of Light images and pick one that I thought represented the moment. This one is from a night I so enjoyed. One that I feel was a turning point for the project. Today is a massive turning point for me to. I am so looking forward to getting out again, and searching for the Ball of Light.

It is really important for me to once again thank the Light Painting Community on Flickr. The success of this little project of mine is a success for us as a community. It is crazy! Crazy Fun!

Go Hard
