1. I made this photo by using the "bulb" setting on the camera and holding the shudder open while two people spun a string of fairy lights, then they pulled the lights tight creating a spiral effect. The camera was set on a tripod in order to ensure that no movement would make the photo blurry or mess up the light. I did not edit the photo at all because I was very pleased with how it turned out naturally. 2. I think someone would interpret this as a tunnel or like a wormhole in space. I feel like the pattern and color give off a space-ish feeling especially because the background is pitch black.
