Time for the third set of images from my current series. The glass objects are some of my favorite in this series of multiple exposures. I love the distortion that happens, and they have a bit more of an ethereal feel to them in my opinion.
These are all I have for now, but hopefully this week I will be testing some different materials for display, as well as spray painting some new objects in a different color and shooting lots more. I hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend!
I shot more for my graduate work the other day, and once again after finishing the “serious” work I played around a bit with the light and my glass collection. I am always so fascinated by how light shines and refracts through glass objects. The glass can look perfect, and then once you see the shadows cast all the imperfections become visible, and the light seems to bounce every which way. Each object, despite looking the same or at least very similar, casts a unique shadow. I don’t think it is something I will ever get bored with.
Happy Tuesday!
My graduate work had been in a bit of a drought for most of this summer; in part because of being sick for so much of it, and in part just because I was feeling very stuck. Yesterday I finally decided to be proactive and shoot, so I tore apart my bedroom to create a makeshift studio of sorts (behind the scene image below, with the fabric backdrop already torn down). I haven’t edited them most of them yet, and haven’t pieced them together, but this was the first one I got to and was pretty excited about the image on its own, so I wanted to share.
While I was wrapping things up with the more “serious” images, I decided to play with the light a little, since I love the way light works its way through glass.
And as mentioned, the behind-the-scenes image. The sheet was held up over the window using blue painter’s tape. When the light is right and motivation strikes you make things work!
Almost a month ago now I went exploring to find this abandoned house that a student of mine had told me about. I wasn’t able to get inside unfortunately, though I may try again at some point.
Trying to edit with a headache so bad that everything is blurry and seems to be moving is quite interesting. So I apologize if this is not actually in focus; I can’t tell right now.
I love discovering things that I didn’t know were present until going to look at the pictures.
Also, merry Christmas (eve) to you all!
This is actually from 11/25, but like I said..the past week and a half has been one of the most difficult I have had.
Today was my long day of classes/teaching. When I got home I was exhausted, and in crazy pain because of my ulcer, so all I wanted to do was sit on the couch. So….this is from yesterday.

This little sliver of light is the only direct sunlight that I get in my apartment any more. But, I love what it does to my glass collection.
