Ageing
Abstract Glass Macro Photography
Others have seen what is and asked why. I have seen what could be and asked why not. ~Pablo Picasso
I see the aging process in this photograph. The innocence of youth is expressed to the left and in between is just that.
I really enjoy the colors and swirling lines and overall textures.
This is a photograph of a round glass ornament. It was taken with a Macro lens and is a very small section of the overall object. I am exploring hand blown glass at a macro level in the hopes of creating fine art from very small pieces of glass.
All of the colors and shapes are created from hot glass. None of these images are created from anything other than hand blown glass objects. I am removing visible specks of dust in Photoshop to present a cleaner look but the overall image is exactly what I am seeing through my camera lens.
The colors are vivid and alive due to the way that I am illuminating the glass art as I am taking the picture. In a way I am photographing the light as it passes through the object. Creating art from light or art from glass art? Either way I see creating art from life and from existing art.
I have been a professional photographer for many years but it is only in the last couple of months that I have been photographing glass at any level. It is such an exciting experience to discover these images. I almost feel like an archeologist as I explore a small hidden word and reveal the treasures within.
