'The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning.' Mitch AlbomPerhaps the creator of the quote had Blog friend Bruce Specht in mind,
Bruce Specht is a friend to Heart of Glass Blog, all of you weekly admire his glass and photography, my friend Shorty Finley would say: 'he's the kind of man who would continually grow trees for shade knowing he wouldn't live to sit under the tree" - I only recently discovered Shorty borrowed that phrase.
These beautiful, bright tangerine items are from Bruce's collection.

I love all of your photos; however, this one seems extra special. The composition, color, dark vs. light vs. clear all come together as a visual feast!
You must live in such a beautiful world with all of this glass. Thank you, thank you for all of your sharing.

Great Mitch Albom quote. I have enjoyed several of his writings, especially Tuesdays with Morty.
This was a very hard shot since Crystal is difficult to capture. I was able to finally set the shot up to use the larger highball glass to reflect off the decanter to capture the beautiful curvature of the body. Glad you appreciate the photo. I take special delight in your feedback since you have a great eye from the various photos you have shared in the past.
Thanks
Bruce
As for the trees, we should hope that we are all planting a forest. One that will become more glorious as the colors of a Appalachian fall.
Phani is also a great photographer.

Each and every photo of Blenko is a winner.
This summer Phani and I expect to visit your glass and ask for individualized education re: glass photography Phani
is very good with a camera, but your ability to capture the essence of glass is exceptional.

I also like Mitch Albom - Tuesdays with Morty will become a classic much like Blenko
simple
yet full of color and meaningful
Oh yes...that will help me take photographs of all your collection Bridgett.
Beautiful
