We were headed back to the car after walking down to the Point and the Three Rivers Arts Festival.
On the corner was a street performer, consuming fire. Yikes!
I asked what it was like the very first time, when she was learning to do it. I could not imagine even attempting this feat. My daughter Laura said watching it makes her nervous.
I found it mesmerizing to watch. Photographing fire is something I need to read about for a future shoot.
She graciously agreed to my photographing and blogging it. You can follow her @PghFireGirl

Preparing to eat fire.
You have to see it up close and in person to get the full effect…..my photos can’t really capture the fire eating adequately.
All I can say is, WOW!
Amazing skill.
simply stunning! mind boggling! kudos~
She is greedy for fire!
Really captured the mood! Great shots
wow indeed!!!
I agree…WOW!
Yes, WOW sums it up!
This is so scary to watch! Great shots, Ruth. 🙂
An amazing series Ruth!! Too scary even all the way from here!! 🙂
Great photos, but I don’t know if I could have watched that.
great captures Ruth!
I’ll have a burger instead please… 😉
What did she say it was like to eat fire for the first time? I can’t imagine making myself do that… this woman has guts! (Figuratively and literally.)
