burn

taken by jordan 

at the end of the year a group of us gather on a field and burn all our past years homework assignments, projects, papers, everything. i was at the field with lukas, jordan, kohl, josh and jimin. they are all pyromaniacs. it was fun spending time with them like that. i mostly just circled around the fire, trying to get a good picture of the light from the fire beaming of the boys faces. kohl had made over two hundred paper cranes which he then decided to through into the flames to burn. i took a picture to at least save the effort put into making all those paper cranes. when the fire started to die down, the four of us who were left sat down on a mat and we began to listen to music and talk. all of the sudden, a group of police men on loud, roaring motorbikes came. they were curious as to what we were doing. when we explained to them that we were just burning papers, they quickly left. we said that we would leave too when the fire completely died out. but when it did, we all sort of drifted to the car and lingered. locking the doors and pushing on the gas pedal, i would tease lukas that i was going to drive off. i wasn't of course. i probably would have stalled anyway. the three boys were standing in front of the head lights when i began to take pictures of them. later i instructed them to sit down like they were indians. we left soon after, each one of us exhausted. the night was spent well, i must say. i would relive it once more if i could.
