Periodically I give Wilson’s site a quick check to see if there is anything new up there for me to spend money on. Today I was rewarded for my curiosity with a shocking image, a shocking image, I tells ya. Wilson put a classic book to the torch, as you can see here.
I trust that this was just a singe and not a full scale immolation…. For more fire related pics, check them out for yourself at Robert Wilson Photography.

You’d have laughed if you could have seen me struggling to choose which book to set afire. I had picked some stupid romancy type book of Cindy’s but decided that it wouldn’t have as much artistic impact that way. Then I found this water damaged book of Shakespeare stuff. It was clearly the lesser of several evils since I have probably a dozen copies of Shakespeare’s complete works lying around. Nevertheless, it was difficult fo me to set any book on fire. I felt like a Nazi or perhaps Pat Robertson. I will be reprising this photo today except I will be adding a litte excellerent to make the fire more impressive.

BTW, the shot is supposed to be the first in a series called “Ignorance”. More to come since this theme is almost limitless…
