Lots of chat lately about captions. What they should or should not be. So write one for this picture. Not as a joke . For real. The scene is spring break. South Beach, Miami about three weeks ago. Pretend you are a caption writer for a magazine or newspaper and you are seeing this cold turkey. This is a realistic exercise. In 48 hours I will choose the best caption writer. The winner gets a 100 bucks to write captions for the next story up. You won’t get rich doing this job for Burn. But you might just get a real job out of this fake job.

Multi-hued hairdo’s and a close embrace under a heavy sky bring passion to a late afternoon on Miami’s South Beach.
meh…
I spotted the couple embrace with such desire that I instinctively raised my camera to document the passionate moment. Just as I started to release the shutter, the redhead thrust her head between the subject and my camera, diverting my auto-focus to her glasses. “What are you?” she challenged. “Some kind of pervert? Give the lovers their space!”

Photography ain’t about level horizons or portraits with a long lens or perfectly groomed red hair, nicely held down by the stylist’s hair clips. It’s a way of life, a necessity, a right here right now attitude running against the average, the commonplace and the yawn. An ache for the exhilaration, as those crazy stars collide and sparks and bangs echo throughout your heart. Can you feel the zone buzzing your whole chassis? That hum in your soul when you know deep down in your guts that image will be a “WOW”. That is the Burn creed.
We have creed now??
Is there a dress code?
A special handshake?
Can I still have a beard?
Strange. last night I thought I could feel an ache for the exhileration and the zone buzzing my whole chassis….but it turned out to be trapped wind.
