Faith is the bird that feels the light when the dawn is still dark. ~Rabindranath Tagore

I see a fish hooked on light. Swimming through an abstract sea. Finding a certain feeling and stopping to enjoy the bliss. My small oceanic friend is curious and alive. Waiting to see the next adventure and loving every minute. ————- These photographs are all abstract. I am taking pictures of colors and shapes. What anyone sees is open to the imagination. There is no right or wrong interpretation. I hope that you enjoy whatever it is that you do […]

Give light, and the darkness will disappear of itself. ~Desiderius Erasmus

Branches of Light I see a branch of light extending to all of the darkness in the world. Bright enough to gain the attention of all the souls in the world. A brilliant and welcoming invitation to another way of thinking and a chance to rest for a minute and enjoy the colors…… This picture was part of a commissioned series created for a local Hotel. —– This picture started out as a picture of handblown glass created by Garth […]

Colored Arrows A colorful flight of fancy into an abstract realm is what this picture reminds me of. When I first took the photograph I saw arrows for some reason. Two years later I am looking at it and not seeing arrows anymore? What do you see here in this abstract photograph? —- This picture started out as a picture of handblown glass created by Garth Mudge of Glassworks. Glassworks is located downtown Winthrop Wa (Washington State), in the beautiful […]

I have just three things to teach: simplicity, patience, compassion. These three are your greatest treasures. ~Lao Tzu

Ballerina This photograph reminds me of a ballet slipper. A magical ballet slipper sparkling with fairy dust. Surrounded by beautiful color and magical tones of sound and light. Dancing for the spirit of creativity in all of us. Simplicity and beauty are things that we love. It is nice when all that we want can be captured in a photograph. Red is a very powerful color. It could be war, love, fear, evil, peace, sensuality, whatever we interpret it to […]

Think like a queen. A queen is not afraid to fail. Failure is another steppingstone to greatness. ~Oprah Winfrey

Egyptian Queen Luxurious colors abound in this photograph of glass. For some reason it reminds me of a beautiful egyptian queen. Maybe Cleopatra maybe someone else. Confidence gold and jewels all indicate an ancient beauty. This picture started out as a picture of handblown glass created by Garth Mudge of Glassworks in Winthrop Wa. Glassworks is located downtown in the beautiful Methow Valley in Okanogan County. It was taken with a Macro lens and is a very small section of […]

Blue Fish I see a blue fish here. Swimming peacefully through its abstract Glass ocean. The water flows smoothly around as this creature makes its way to the next reality it is looking for. In this dimension the shades of light create the environment and my little friend is happy indeed 🙂 This painting started out as a picture of handblown glass created by Garth Mudge of Glassworks in Winthrop Wa. Glassworks is located downtown in the beautiful Methow Valley […]

Gratitude is the sign of noble souls. ~Aesop

December 9, 2014 by owfotografik

Noble Colors I am not sure exactly why this image seems so noble to me. Maybe it is the sense of infinity in the center? Maybe because the colors are so bold and yet understated at the same time. Bright, vivid and alive. I see dimensions of color and light. I see the universe and all of the stars contained therein. As you can see, I have quite the imagination 🙂 This is a photograph of a piece of glass […]

Penguins This photograph reminds me of a penguin. Sitting quietly in the Arctic and wondering what all of the color is about. Black and White is one thing but a bright blue penguin is a new idea. In these bold colors I can almost taste a story waiting to be told. I see a wheat colored yellow and a calming blue, a royal purple, a nectarine orange, a limey green kiss, a sensual red and spiritual purple/pink haze. This picture […]

Hearts Abstract Macro Glass Photograph by Omaste Witkowski owFotoGrafik.com

Everyone has been made for some particular work, and the desire for that work has been put in every heart. ~Rumi

Hearts This photograph reminds me of a heart. The spidery lines remind me of veins. Also I am in love with the photograph. The glowing red center and overall mini mystery of a creative process. This image started me on my artistic journey that has brought me here. It was the first picture I ever sold anyone. I was exploring the idea of using my glass ornaments as models for Macro photographs. A friend of mine saw some of my […]

Woody The Woodpecker I am really enjoying going back through these early photographs and connecting with the spirit of the art. I love the light that glows through and warms the image. The various colors that will blend and soften into each other. I realized that I don’t find these colors anywhere else but in glass. They are so varied and the tones and textures move in a fluid motion. I am in awe of glass for some reason. It […]
