Glass Art ( Brennan, Peggy & Shannon Downey; Elgin Valley. De Meye,Blaauklippen, Camberley, Beaumont Vineyard) December 16th, 2009 : ENJOY OH BOY!
Enjoy these pictures that I took here in the United States in Washington D.C. these last few months and those that I took in March of 2009 in South Africa just for their visual tour-de-force power and charm and wit and surprise and bits of wonder and freshness that hopefully will make you stop to look just a bit closer to get more of what is captured and layered within each and every one of them : split seconds of seconds of seconds that are what they are and quite literally amazing at that. Cheers, TONY
I will probably add more as I have time ... happy holidays and New Year as it is already Wednesday evening here at home in northern Virginia at 11:40 PM on December 16th, 2009 ...
I love what the glass does here mostly with wine glasses : as well as the reflective power of shiny metal: and feathers, too that I found in between the rows of vines at the Camberley Vineyard just before it turned dark ...
Reflection through reflection through reflection captured and reflected and bounced off and back and forth and on and on and on and on ... wow, how can the human eye catch all of this as it happens so quickly? Good thing for the Canon camera's eye as well as my old Kodak camera's eye, too ... they really captured these through my eyes : three and four eyes are better than two?!?
I like all the contrasts, too of light and dark and how things got framed as well as how the wine glass reduced or enlarged or widened the people behind them : as well as all but whited them out as in these last photos here at the Michael Downey Selections ( Michael would have been 60 a few days afterward if he had lived Shannon confided in me ) 10-Year-Anniversary party of Brennan, Peggy and Shannon Downey ... I like them : so atmospheric and all ... artsy. I just love it, really I do ...
