Burning Love on St. Catherine St. W.

I took the photo today starting at 10am when 5 fire truck sirens woke me from slumber. By noon the flames were really taking off, by 3pm the fire was fully under control with only one building gutted by the flames.
I was in a hurry to take each 200 frames that I shot this morning and was thinking in a more archival and documentary mode for capturing the images- since I didn't know when the action would end and how it was going to progress.
I'd like to put a series up, showing whomever is interested, how the fire progressed over the five hours of fire fighting. Although, for this assignment I've chosen this image because of it's ying-yang effect having one window fully engulfed and the other billowing with thick, grey smoke. I enjoyed the close-up view of the fire since this focal length allows the viewer to see what they couldn't in a wide establishing shot (which gives more context to the contents and is also efficient in getting the information across in a less intimate method). I choose an intimate shot to follow the Valentine’s burning love theme!
