Sharing my pics

[jac1961]

Since I don't make glass, only collect, about the only creative (1/2 way) thing I can do is try to photograph my collection to share. I've been working on my photography skills and am making progress, but I'd still like to improve. One thing that's really pissing me off is keeping the dust off the pieces. I wipe them off well, but it still ends up all over!

Thought I'd show some of my latest and get your comments... don't hold back! Thanks.

I love how two out of three replies didn't actually read what you wrote. Nice collection man, and it's cool that you've posted out of it. I really appreciate this addition to the board, and that there are collectors out there, too. You've got good taste man.

Not sure what your talking about who didn't read the post? Seems to me everybody did.

[jac1961]

Hey thanks for the comments everyone. I'd like to get pics of all my collection some day, maybe I'll post more from time to time. You guys deserve the credit, you're the ones that actually know how to make the stuff!

Happy to! Pics of my new cabinet. The lights I installed do a really good job of lighting glass, but all the reflections make photography a bitch. Might try to get better ones someday. :puzzled:

Ya, Florin's spiders are really sweet, you just have to wait about a month for them to ship to the US. I have seen his vids, but it's been awhile since I've watched them... thanks for the reminder.
