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 […]

Life is just a fantasy, can you live this fantasy life? ~Aldo Nova

July 3, 2013 by owfotografik

What do you see here? I am loving the blue color I have invoked. It sits calmly in the center of the screen just waiting for your eye to wander there. What is is and where did it come from. Is this blue void going to swallow us whole or just wait patiently until our eyes are ready to melt into it. Explore all of the textures and color variations. I have painted many wondeful mysteries into this scene. I […]

Float like a butterfly and sting like a bee ~Muhammad Ali

July 2, 2013 by owfotografik

I imagine that it takes much less energy to float than it does to sting. Floating is like being supported by a cushion of pillows. Stinging would be, to me, an angry action. So how much more pleasant to float than to sting. However it is much more effective at times to sting than to float. If you are being attacked you might want to at least defend yourself. I love the bright blue and wonderful contrasting colors of this […]

Look to the sky and what do you see….. Is there a correct answer for you or for me?

June 30, 2013 by owfotografik

In the beginning this image was a photograph that I took while my children were swimming in the local pool down in the park and I was wandering around with my camera. I am fascinated by clouds., and as I often do, I looked to the sky for inspiration. I could look at them for hours and hours watching the scene change as the winds blow them here and there. Depending on the weather and whether or not you are […]

It is always wise to look ahead but difficult to look further than you can see. ~Winston Churchill

June 29, 2013 by owfotografik

There is a spot on the MVSTA trail system where a local glass blower has set up a sort of sculpture. I am fascinated by glass as it is and to have blue glass out in the sunshine is such a visual treat. I stop each time I see this and just admire the sun coming through the glass. This arm will move depending on how the wind is blowing and so it is never in the same spot when […]

Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment. ~Buddha

June 28, 2013 by owfotografik

Capturing this moment in time and remembering the past. Along my biking trail is this old home. I stop and contemplate the history here. Someone planted trees and flowers long ago. Maybe a garden and children playing in the yard. Or was there time for that. Did the past owners of this home stop and enjoy their surroundings or were they too busy working the land and dreaming of better days? Some things live on and endure the ravages of […]

What a Whale of a Tale. Or is it a Tail of a Whale?

June 27, 2013 by owfotografik

I see a large whale rising out of the ocean. Searching the sky for any sign of other creatures and not so softly sinking back down into the waves. I see blue skies and choppy water. It is amazing to me how a photograph taken of a small section of glass can look like something completely different. A whale in the ocean for example…. I really enjoy taking abstract photographs and visualizing all sorts of stories. This is the way […]
