A Glass Society

Here's a photo that's not from the great outdoors... as the earlier posts have been. I saw all these empty clear glasses from the corner of my eye and gravitated towards it. There in the middle sat one that was filled with water and covered in condensation. It seemed like a simple shot, but how could I create something new. There was nice statement happening there. It reminded me of bubbles at first and the beauty of them. Then my mind went to a more environmental temperament. This was in comparison to a shot that I did just days ago at the Mariner's Museum in Newport News, VA.

I saw an exhibit at the Chrysler Museum in Norfolk, VA about the "Art of Glass". It was a brilliant show and I'm glad I was able to check it out. There are so many things you can say about glass and how we can create such beauty from molecules of sand. It's reusable, it's functional, it catches the light and reflects our world. In a society where we have filled our land with empty water bottles, it's refreshing to think that we can go back to glass as a way to hold the water that will quench our thirst.
