While on the St. Charles edition of the 2010 Worldwide Photo Walk, Sio found this piece of glass on the ground, and started photographing it. I decided to give it a try as well, and saw her face reflected in it. I thought it made a great photo!

Project 365 : I’ve Got the Music in Me
I’m trying out a new application called Hipstamatic for my iPhone, and thought this would make a fun photo.
Project 365 : Chess on the Brain
Tonight’s shot comes from my light table and chess sets again. I put one of my grandmother’s chess pieces on the light table, while leaving the blue chess pieces set up on the light table, refracting through the head of the pawn. I love the way the blue set appears through the pawn’s head, pointing out the contrast between the smooth lines of the blue set and the handmade uniqueness of the pawn.
Once again, this was photographed with my Canon MP-E 65/2.8, finished in Photoshop CS4E, with the assistance of Nik Color Efex Pro.
Fresh Art: Blue Chesspieces
Tonight, I pulled my old slide light table out, put a glass chessboard atop it, and began to play with some glass chesspieces I had lying about.
I’ve been wanting to play with this light table for a while, and finding these chesspieces gave me just the excuse. I suspect I’ll use it with some other images of bottom-lit glass and liquids. Should be some fun experimenting.
Blue Chesspieces is available through my online gallery in a variety of sizes.
Project 365 : Chess Pieces
I started setting up some of my father’s chess sets this weekend. He collected ’em from all over the world and I brought some of them home with me after his death. They’re all great, but this one is special.
My grandmother was an industrial glass blower in Oak Ridge in the 1960s and made a whole bunch of fun glass pieces for my family when I was a kid. She made this set for my father, and I’m thrilled to share it with whomever is reading this blog.
One of these days, I’ll work on some individual photos of some of the pieces. They’re really quite remarkable.
