A while back, I was lamenting that I was out of ideas for things to take pictures of, and my Mom suggested that I take a picture of my antique match striker. I think I got distracted and found something else, and never got around to it. It occurred to me tonight, so I thought I'd give it a shot.

I thought that the ridges on the outside of the striker, covered with streaks of sulfer from the match strikes, would be the most interesting aspect, but when I set the striker down on the dining room table, the way the matches themselves fell around in sort of a spiral caught my eye.

So, here it is. :)
