Abstract Macro Glass Photography
I begin with an idea and then it becomes something else. ~Pablo Picasso
I see a magical paintbrush creating its own picture.
I really enjoy the way that it looks like there is a paintbrush moving on its own without a hand guiding it. I also love the bright orange or pink color.
These photographs are all abstract. I am taking pictures of colors and shapes. What anyone sees is open to the imagination. There is no right or wrong interpretation. I hope that you enjoy whatever it is that you do see.....
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.

What is this picture of? I love the simplicity and elegance but also the untold story of a artist running on pure desperation trying to paint the last stroke to fufill his masterpiece and pay the rent for one more month

Love the POV and almost surrealistic feel. My choice for the day in the Female Artsts gropup discussion thread.
