Light....

I know that it is because I photograph things

(technical word)

but I love the way light transforms

an object.

Have you noticed this?

Take anything that is even slightly

transparent...

glass works for me.

Then place it in natural light,

in a window,

outside...

even on your desk...

then photograph it from various angles....

digital allows for lots of experimentation...

shoot lots....

(another technical term)

then download to your computer

and view on the larger screen..

make it even bigger

(sorry for all the technical stuff)

observe how light can make an object

look "harder"

or "softer"

even "fuzzy"....

Now you are seeing what I see when

I play.....

smiles.

Quality of light....

Light thru glass,
Light thru raindrops,
Light thru leaves....
It is all slightly different in quality.
This is why I love to photograph images.
It is also why I love Art Glass.
Taking the abundant resource of sand,
putting it under pressure and heat, and creating a
thing of beauty.
Then, using the other abundant resource, the sun,
and letting it transform the glass into a "light factory"
is one of the most interesting visual experiences I can
imagine.
How wonderful.
