~ A visit to The Getty isn't complete without a peek into the gift shop. Even if you don't want to buy anything, the displays are interesting and sometimes beautiful. These glass vases were such a display. I like the shapes, colors and textures.
Getty Perfume Bottles ~ Another shot of the gift shop display at The Getty. The shapes and colors were enchanting. In larger sizes, notice the refracted bottles in the round bottle stoppers.
~ I love glass and photographing it. I have many shots of my glass paperweight collection. A friend offered to lend me some glass to shoot, and this one was a result of that offer. The hobnail glass plate in the background is mine, and stays in my livingroom window, but the brightly colored glass was his; it makes a nice still life, I think.
