"Out of the frying pan, into the fire."
This old idiom means going from a bad situation to one that is even worse.
It often refers to the necessity of making a choice between equally difficult options.
Why does this silly photo maybe illustrate the saying?
Because lately I have found no nice reflections for James' Weekend Reflections and when I was about to make fried rice today I suddenly saw myself in the oil and ran to get the camera.
I felt stupid taking a self portrait in a frying pan.
I hoped neighbors weren't looking toward my kitchen window.
I was that desperate to finally have a photo for the meme.
I made the choice: click
Was this jumping out of the frying pan, into the fire?
Did a daily photo blogger even have a choice?

That is such a nice self-portrait, you, coocking, Dina... I love the idea of using the oil in the frying pan as reflective surface. I like the composition too, with the cercle of the fire on in the background of your round reflection... Well done : very original !
ReplyDeleteGrab the opportunity as it arises. Well done.
ReplyDeleteIt is funny and actually I like the end result! I am sure James will appreciate your sense of humor.
ReplyDeleteno Dina, it's just right. great reflection and the idiom suits very well. :) Fran
ReplyDeleteGreat shot for reflections~ seeing what is there ~ ^_^
ReplyDeleteMaybe only photographers notice all the great opportunities like a reflection in a frying pan :)
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of beaches in your earlier post, I saw this interesting story in the news ... Stone Mystery in Sea of Galilee ... http://news.discovery.com/earth/rocks-fossils/ancient-structure-under-sea-of-galilee-130412.htm
I think it's nice!

ReplyDeleteYou do not have a choise:-)
ReplyDeleteWonderful reflection Dina. I like all kinds of reflections.
Well done!
Do not worry: I (and I guess many others) could fill another blog with pictures much more silly that this one, which gets right to the point!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely LOVE it! I like the circular repetitions, your head, the frying pan edge and the gas burner. Hey, reflection is a reflection is a reflection, just say'in!
ReplyDeleteGood idea, Dina! If nothing else, I ALWAYS love seeing a photo of you. Mmmm... Fried rice? Yum!
