Camerainmyhand Posted February 20, 2010 Author Share Posted February 20, 2010 Wow, this is an awesome forum! Everybody here is really nice and it means alot to me to get the kind of response I have gotten from my photoessay. After shooting Waxman I have a new appreciation for the art of candle making and even have a little taste for trying my own hand at it sometime. Once I do I'll be sure to post up some photos. Thanks everybody and have a great weekend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Great photos!

lsbennis Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Great photos...i especially love the one with the 3 round palm tree candles and I really like the candle also... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camerainmyhand Posted February 22, 2010 Author Share Posted February 22, 2010 Hahaha! I appreciate the warning. Photography is already expensive enough! I still like the idea of making candles though. Hopefully I'll meet someone owns all the gear and also doesnt mind letting a noob try his hand at it.

Camerainmyhand Posted February 22, 2010 Author Share Posted February 22, 2010 Thanks Isbennis. If Im not mistaken that what was one of the first candles that the "Waxman" came up with. I think its a pretty cool candle to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camerainmyhand Posted February 26, 2010 Author Share Posted February 26, 2010 I really appreciate all the kind words and interest everybody in the forum has taken towards my project. @French Hill your comment about capturing the artistry really means alot. I do my best to always try and capture the elements of my subject. I had no idea how cool candlemaking was until I did this shoot and I have a new appreciation for the candles we burn in our house.@candybee, what the heck is a FOHO?
