friday night light show

April 26th, 2008 — 12:06pm

wow, what an incredible storm we had friday night. lots of swirling winds from the north brought over an inch of wonderful rainwater and an awesome batch of lightning that lasted for hours. i grabbed the wide angle and had some fun with bulb mode.

i blew it

April 8th, 2008 — 1:29am

i took a one hour hands-on glass blowing instructional today taught by austin glass artist Aaron Gross of Austin Art Glass. he runs the shop over on south congress.

aaron is a calm and highly skillful artist and teacher. i really enjoyed working with this medium and gaining respect for the ancient art technique first hand. being able to fully immerse yourself in the craft within an hour is a very cool thing…
