Painting with light can be very hard if you have a preset outcome in your head. Or it can be fun, this is the route I choose. This is just a simple fun project, with a long exposure. I took the fire and painted with it. Already now we've been subject to these images in commercials, but none the less it's still fun.
As photographers we are completely different. We see and understand things differently, we are artist of the light. Wether it be strobes, flashes, car light, or form the stars. We use light as our brush and color (or lack of). These images have not been photoshoped except to place my name in them, other than that they are in original form. This is natural photography. As an artist we use photoshop to brighten our palette, but it is not a crutch and we don't need it.WORDS TO LIVE BY;
Use the smoke screen. They'll never know.
I really like the statement about photoshop. Being new to using it, I always feel a lil guilty about enhancing my colors. :)

Photoshop is now the digital darkroom. Using it to make simple correction that you could make in a darkroom is using it intelligently. Using photoshop to make crappy photos viewable is not.
