No, this isn’t a glass rendition of Edvard Munch’s “The Scream”. This was a figure study, and sort of a test, for Boulder, Colorado glassblower Ryan Rosburg. Made from borosilicate glass, Ryan was able to get some intricate detail. Whenever I see his work, I am truly amazed. He is quite skilled and makes a respectable living as a glassblower. I amalso flattered when he asks me to photograph his work. This photo will be part of a website I am building for his artistic glasswork. I have already built one for his glass recycling program, The Community Carbon Project. I am certainly enjoying doing all this product photography. I guess it doesn’t hurt that I think the stuff they are turning out is pretty cool. The part of all this is that I am learning a lot about a craft that I didn’t know anything about. I do enjoy learning new things in general, so this has been perfect for me. If you haven’t checked out the cool glasses and other stuff they make, make sure you do. Creativity like that should always be rewarded.
