Red

This simple image shows that it is often the most mundane objects, in the most ordinary surroundings, that make the best pictures. Here the organic forms of red, outlined in streaks of gold, forming deep blue triangles at the picture's edges, convey the profund beauty of color in natural light. I have always loved glass, particularly the beautifully original works of American art glass artisans. I photograph it as often as possible, sometimes indoors against colrful swatches of silk fabric, but often outdoors in natural light. For this image, I placed a frosted glass bottle, filled with red wine vinegar, on a railing of my back porch. Backlit by the full sunlight of midday, it creates a compelling image of color and light.
