This is another abstract created from one of my glass paperweights. A couple of days ago I posted one, this is another from the same paperweight, just a different angle. This is my favorite of my paperweight collection. I found it about 35 years ago in a shop in the French Quarter in New Orleans. I was pretty poor in those days, but loved it so much I purchased it for $95 (on my BankAmerica card--yes, that long ago!). At some point I decided it would have to pay for its room and board (so to speak), and I have photographed it many times over the years. It has paid for itself many times over by now! In these recent shots I have attempted to keep more of the light and translucence in the captures. 3/25/21 www.sparhawkphotography.com
The other day I was playing around with a couple of my glass paperweights in my light box. One in particular created some interesting abstract patterns. After cropping and playing with the colors a bit, this was one of them that I liked. 3/22/21 www.sparhawkphotography.com
Still working on abstracts. This was made from a pic of an apartment house in Chinatown in Los Angeles. I took it a long time ago, and I liked the shadows, red railings and the laundry hanging on one of the balconies, but overall it was kind of boring. Once I turned it into this abstract, I liked the effect. 3/1/20
