Art, photoart and Photography by me. Imagik = image magic. Magic is the effect that image-play has on me. I hope to share that. Images, eclectic, whatever turns me on at the moment. My creative play. To say it, cross imagination with magic.

The Fire-starter
The Fire-starter, by Mary Stebbins Taitt. (new version.)

This one is one of the most powerful you made.
Is the man Indian ? Are you familiar with the work of Edward Curtis ?
The man is acting the part of an Indian and familiar with Indian ways, but I think he is Caucasian.
He did actually start that fire with flint and iron. I watched him do it.
No I don't think so, doesn't ring a bell.
Should I be?

Thanks, Viking and DeLi!
Viking, I am familiar with Curtis's work to some extent, as soon as I looked I remembered! Great work!
