We were going to go around the city tonight and take some photos but it’s far too windy and cold. So I got some household things together, some orbs that glow and change light of their own accord and at random times, some nice reflective material, light absorbing, dark background and out came this and some others. 24 October 2009 Featured in Stained Glass Art

This is a close-up of a Rose window at the entrance of The Basilica of St. Mary’s in downtown Mpls., MN. This window is 15 feet in diameter and is centered directly above the entrance. Below is a wider view of the window in its entirety. This Catholic church has a total of 60 stained glass windows throughout the building. Construction started in 1907 and took over 20 years to complete. The Basilica is the co-cathedral of the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Mpls. together with the Cathedral of St. Paul. / This is the wide angle view of this window. This photo was featured in the group, “Stained Glass Art” on 10-10-09.

featured in Stained Glass Art another of my ‘missing images’- several items turned up missing from my portfolio and I will attempt to restore them. full descriptions to follow. This was among my first major works, nearly life-sized at over five feet high. It is in a small country church in Freedom, Ohio. It was completed in 1978. It is based on the biblical story of Jesus rebuking the disciples for attempting to turn away children trying to see him and reminds us all that a child is closer to the spiritual source in nature, being less jaded and callous than adults. It is by nurturing the child within that we grow closer to our spiritual source… and each other.
Stare at the centre… it’ll pull you in…. / This is a 3cm diameter Venetian glass pendant I got from the North Sydney Markets. They are on every second Saturday of the month.
Sheesh meaning mirror and Mahal meaning palace. The shot was taken in Sheesh Mahal of Amber Fort, Jaipur in Rajasthan. The walls, ceilings all covered with such delicate mirror work, it is stunning and thus the name Sheesh Mahal, Palace of Mirrors. We were told that the entire room can be illuminated with a single match or candle. The mirrors were coming off at places and renovation was on when we visited the fort. 50+ mirror pieces Jaipur – capital city of Rajasthan is famous for the Amber Fort, City Palace, Hawa Mahal.

Well, one actually. It’s an empty Midori bottle with a green light as background

I found this great reflective background in one of those cheapy shops that sell nothing but junk. They’re good for things like this and I knew as soon as I saw it that it would make a great background.
You’ll need these to see the wonderful sights of Sydney up close and personabubble. ;-) 5 exp HDR – tonemapped
stained glass wall work (ie. it has a white backing board, thus works with reflected light rather than transmitted light)- made in 2007 for the North Shore Craft Group’s 30th anniversary exhibition (I used to be a member). They had a special grouping called “All That Glitters” so I got out all the bits of silvered glass I could find! Measures 128cm x 128cm, which is pretty big for a single panel; had to build a special benchtop b4 I could construct the piece :-)
Detail from the stained glass window in the church in Lavenham, Suffolk. This window is by far one of the most beautiful in the world, it has to be seen to be believed. The colours are so vivid and the window is huge.
My replacement (6x firings… should have only been 5x but I left off a couple of important lines) and the original fragments waxed up on a glass plate. I use beeswax to adhere the fragments into position, then place the new piece of glass on top and trace thru, on a light table. Hence the line work is referred to in the trade as the trace line. St John the Baptist Catholic Church, Maitland
JUNE 2008: Just took this out of the kiln this morning, after its sixth and final firing. In fact this is the third attempt to get this piece right; in the first one his left eye was way too small; the 2nd attempt had acne, as a result of all the bubbles in the glass (I used the wrong side of the glass- duh!) Well, it is the face of Jesus, and people will be looking right at it, so it had to be the best I could do. It’s for St Brenden’s Catholic Church, Annandale, illustrating the Baptism of Christ.
We went shopping tonight. As usual I found the food boring and must have, of course. Can’t live or create without it. However, while my beautiful wife was hunting and gathering, I was off in my own little world, looking at the normal, everyday household items and I had the lens in my eye (figuratively speaking of course), as one does from time to time. I spied some fishing products on special this week. They had lures and sinkers and floats and these little beauties, glowing beads. Why would anyone make something so awesome just to attach to a fishing line to throw into the sea! These were expensive, for a non-necessary item, considering we are saving to go to the Middle East on hols next year. I threw them into the basket then continued throwing the necessities on top. When we got home I was patient. We unpacked the groceries, I made dinner while my wife chatted on the phone (women are good at that … ;-)) Hehehehehe After dinner I set it all up…the light to ‘charge’ these little glow balls, the camera and the tripod, the crystal cube to place the various glasses that would be holding the glow balls….and then….....it began. It started with this image, and it didn’t end until over one hour later. The images are taken in total darkness and except for some minor playing around with contrast and lighting in post-processing, they are straight from the camera. I hope you like this, the first in the series. The glowing balls were put into a shot glass. However, I prefer to call them The Grapes of Wraith Canon 400D / Canon Lens 18-55mm

The Municipality of Orta main entrance Falling in love with Orta Lake / The area around Lake Orta has long been a favorite tourists, thanks to the quiet beauty of the landscape, its fascinating history and its wealth of artistic treasures – principally Romanesque and Baroque architecture. / Lake Orta lies to the west of Lake Maggiore, in the northern Italy. It is a minor star in the costellation of the subalpine lakes, but all the fascination and the history of the larger lakes seem to be concentrated in this short space. Il lago d’Orta, lake of Orta
