Blowing Fire

Blowing Fire

I love the crazy people who live in my apartment complex. Especially when they let me get pictures of them blowing fire.

(In this picture, the girl on the left is holding a cooking torch (mine), and the guy is blowing out corn starch he'd been holding in his mouth. In later experiments we found out that powdered sugar works even better, although it's a little messier because it caramelizes/burns on the torch. The sequence of photos along the bottom shows the action at 1/5-second intervals.)
