::Demons in Crystal Shards::

I must say.  Every time I take and look at crystals, especially the raw unfinished crystals, I am amazed at what becomes visible.  Could it be true, about crystals and their mystical properties and uses?  This tiny crystal, has been with me for over ten years, until today, I never expected to see this staring me in the face.  It is just amazing!  I wonder what the story behind this crystal is.  Is it a smaller piece of the larger crystal the once belonged to a powerful psychic, who used it to channel spirits, or better, demons, to do their bidding.  It just seems odd that I have this one piece and so much is being revealed, just by looking into it.  Could this be what they see when they go into their trance and channel a spirit?

::A Room with a Warped View::

This one took time to come up with.  I studied it and looked at different angles.  This one, by far is the best.

::Liquid Glass::

I am completely intrigued by glass.  I like how light and shadow dance in it.

::A Friend Re-Visited::

I've been going back to this subject lots of times.  I cannot get over the many possibilities of it.  Just by changing the direction of the light.  I guess you could say that of a lot of things.  This was a fun project.  I have other images that I liked from this series.  I'll post them to my website at the end of the month.

::Color Tension::

This image gives me a tense feeling.  So I titled it so.  It looks like color being pulled apart.

::Take Off::

A small craft at take off.

This was so much fun.  I had help, of course!  I have several other photos I liked, but this is the one that has more motion.

::Warped Reflections::

I was working with a magnifying glass and saw the reflection.  So I took several shots of it in portrait, landscape and magnified.

::Light Build - Test One::

Had an old computer power supply, so I took some wires from it and built this lamp.  I used a blue background.  This bulb was running off of three AAA batteries.

::Ribbon Flower::

I was playing around with this ribbon.  It was some left over ribbon from when I worked at Godiva.  I had made a rose from some red ribbon and then I decided to make one with this green ribbon.  It is wire mesh and difficult to work with.  Here is the result of my efforts.

::Assassins in the Fog::

I have been having so much fun with this setup.  I added fog effects to this scene and also changed the lighting.

::Golden Tips::

A walk on the golden wild side.  These were interesting when I saw them.  I took them down and shot them individually then grouped them together and like how the reflections looked.

::Color Abstract::

There are several crystals or should I say, plastic gems, behind this clear one.  I love how the colors come through.  These have been with me for a very long time.  This is the first time I have actually photographed them. This one is a keeper, it's going to get printed large!

::Intimate Rotini::

I was looking for the nice color that translucent subjects give off when back lit.  This Rotini did a wonderful job with the color yellow.  Above color is lightest and then you have a deeper yellow with the shadow playing nicely above them all.
