Loving Dolphins Abstract Glass Macro Photography
by Omaste Witkowski
I have always loved this image. The soft shades of green and just a sliver of other vibrant colors. I sense such affection and joy here and I can ponder the idea of whether spirits are here and what they are saying. I see movement and stillness at the same time and a hint of a mothers love. The blue up in the corner is otherworldly and you have to look carefully to find it.
This picture is a macro photograph of a glass ornament, and was created as part of a series for the Twisp River Suites. This photograph reminds me of Loving Dolphins.
This is a photograph of a piece of glass artwork created by Garth Mudge of Glassworks in Winthrop, Wa. 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 recently 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.
