Photography + Glassworks
I just got back from this part of the Arts and Lecture series at Millsaps. The show was wonderful, I was impressed by all of the performances. Neilson Hubbard, Garrison Starr,and Molly Thomas performed, and Eric Stracener did some mighty fine intros for them all. You can see a few photos I took here. Make sure to look at the large versions of the images, unlike most of my work (and all of my thumbnails) these are not square.
Jerri has been a busy bee, and I have a new favorite Humanities award . . .
I’ve also added a few more new shots of her work to the slumped glass gallery at LightandGlass.net.
I got rid of the splash page on LightandGlass.net, so you no longer get to see by 15 second animation about our logo. Sorry Mac.
Tell me what you think, better now? Or you never went to that site anyway?

Sadly for you I don’t always have someone around to help me test things out, so you get stuck looking at me. I was trying to achieve a pure black shadow on the face with a pure white background, without having to tweak anything in photoshop. Continue reading ‘Single Reflector on High Key’
Was there ever a fashion you made fun of and then wore, or a song you mocked but ended up secretely loving, well this isn’t the same. Its not. I don’t care what you say. Seriously, I think that selective color can work sometimes, it just has been a little overused in certain segments of the photography world. Continue reading ‘Selective Color …’
A friend of mine, who is a hair stylist, has a new business venture with a makeup artists where they do the hair and makeup for brides on their wedding day. They participated in a bridal expo this past weekend, which is where I come in . . . I took shots of several girls whose hair and makeup they had done for their portfolio.

Jerri has received a commission to create quite a few glass pieces for the humanities council. She is somewhere around the half way point in creating them, and I’ve taken a few shots of the ones she has finished. Although I doubt I can do justice to describing how she makes them, my version is that she melts a bunch of glass that she pours into a new sheet, then she cuts and polishes a circle out of that new sheet, and then slumps the polished circle into the form you see here. Continue reading ‘Humanities Awards’
I’m not going to recap the show as if I was writing this before it happened, for that you can head over to prettyfakes.com and read the many posts by Gorjus. But since many of the images are sold and now living in their new homes, I will provide the digital versions in case you missed it. I’ve got all those, and some interiors I took right before the show opened, in a gallery at lightandglass.net.
If you took the time to look back through my old posts you would see that from the time I quit working for photo images (early Sept.) until the beginning of Nov. I was doing pretty good about posting every day, or close to it. Sadly that all tanked as we entered the holidays, and I could probably provide way too much explanation for not finding the time to post, but you don’t care, suffice to say it was a good thing that I couldn’t find the time. Due to that lack of time I now have a substantial backlog of photo-related and studio-related things to post. Probably the biggest thing I let slip by was the show “Stereo,” which was fabulous, but I’m going to try and give everything its own post … so we shall see. And just because I haven’t mentioned it in a while, make sure you click on “Hud Stuff” (under categories, on the right side of your screen) occasionally to see what randomness Hud is talking about now. Sadly, we don’t let Hud’s posts show up on the front page, so you have to actively go look for what he says, and normally he is saying something about weather, philosophy, plagiarism, and occasionally photography.
