Patterns in Glass with Wood Stove

Posted by – December 11, 2009

This is from the glass front door of a woodstove.
It got hot to just the right temperature & other mysterious conditions
& the soot on the inside of the stove made these patterns in the glass.

It was an uncommon occurance & i had to get the camera too hot
in order to get the best picture with it. Didn’t feel good about that.
I have a different camera now…

But, ya know? If this came out at about 4 feet tall & had a lot of shine, that’d be ok with me.

I lived with an old Gibson j-50 for 30 years once. This is not that. Good, though…as Utah Phillips used to say…

I like these with lots of light & no tweaks. Tasty.

a little rain

Posted by – October 16, 2009

It was raining & i was in the garage with the door cracked at the bottom for the cats & from the back of the garage the reflections off the puddle splash trying to get under the door caught my eye. Lotsa things do. There wasn’t enough light to get good, so i had to tweak them pretty hard to make them make sense. & then just barely.

I’ll get another lens someday soon & let you know.

  • “There is no there there” appears in Gertrude Stein’s Book _Everybody’s Autobiography_. When Stein returned to California on her lecture tour to the United States in the 1930s, she wanted to visit her childhood home in Oakland, CA. She records that she could not find the house. Hence, “there is no there there.” –Sonja Streuber
