Ganesha - the elephant headed god

    I saw an elephant headed person in lotus position, meditating.. made me think of Ganesh(a)... makes sense to have a Hindu/Buddhist deity appear in incense smoke... but then again, maybe you see something totally different..

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ganesha

    for strobist: 1 off camera flash with a little box as a snoot from the side to illuminate the smoke and to make sure the background remains dark. Flash triggered with off-camera flash cord. (mirroring in post-processing) ...
