© David B. Stewart The monochrome image displays a shop window decorated for winter. Tiny white lights are strung vertically dispersed across the frame. Small holes of various sizes are cut in through the petals of large paper snowflakes. The flakes vary in size and fill the frame from the upper left toward the lower right corner.

Looking into the winelight.
A wine glass and wine brightly lit by multiple overhead light sources. Deep burgundy fills the shadow. Looking into the base of the stem, 20 to 30 lights sources appear as tiny flames in the burgundy. The left half of the base erupts in a slim prism that forms a horizon on end. The center of the image appears to explode from a point of white light. The left half of the image is filled with wavelets of white light following the circular curve of the base. ###

A shop window and doorway are hung with gigantic metal jingle bells. Outside the door and out of view, thimilar decorations are stacked along the sidewalk. A theater and shop are visible across the street, each decorated for the Christmas season. ###

A negative space view of one of the ceiling lights at Rudy's Jazz Room, Nashville, TN USA. Ninety or more percent of the view is lightless and black. A single lamp lights its own space centered about one sixth of the width from the right margin. When house lights are down for a performance, a collection of small, one-off metal and came glass shaded chandeliers glow from the low ceiling. This lamp is simple with perforated decorative sheet metal wrapping a glass cylinder, both wrapped in a heavier frame of metal rods. The rods bend toward the bottom center of the shade for an appearance of a rocket engine nozzle or simply stove grate beneath a white-hot flame. The metal finish appears reddish brown in the darkness. Large circular chain links and a ceiling mount can be seen extending into the darkness above the lamp. ###

Belvedere In Black 📷📱
The 1956 model may have been the most aesthetically beautiful of the Plymouth Belvedere line.

#MonochromeMonday #MinimalMonday #MotorHeadMonday #CircleShapesMonday #WeekJforJetBlack #AlphabetChallenge #originalcontent #photography #shareyourparadise #samsung #S23Ultra
A driver-side front quarter panel view of a black and chrome 1956 Plymouth Belvedere sedan. That model year flattened and lowered into a sleek model body awaiting the gaudiness of fins and exhaust tails of 1957. The monochrome view, left to right, captures the curves of the heavily chromed bumper, grille, and forward-swept headlight frame. The hemispherical high beam lens bulges out from the concentric circular headlight lens configuration. Beneath it, the chrome eyelid of the parking or signal lamp appears sleepy. Just further right, the cursive chrome 'Belvedere' badge shines in the black triangular merge of the fender panel's downward sweep into the rising curve of the wheel well and the horizontal chrome side trim that runs above it all for the unseen length of the side panels. A dark sliver of the front tire rubber disappears into its wide white sidewall. It reappears briefly offsetting the curved lines of the chrome hubcap.

Sips of Invisible Fire
A black and white view of a glass shelf filled with a dozen Cairn-styled aperitif stemware glasses ignites into a lightning storm of reflections and refractions from overhead white LED shelf lighting. Every surface inside and out reflects streaks of light into dancing flame shapes filling the bowl of each glass with Ricky Bobby's invisible fire. ###

A monochrome view of a restaurant light fixture constructed of found objects. Each fixture is a work of primarily metal pipe, flashlight bodies, and Edison bulbs. The upper body of the fixture is a mix of cut metal pipe rings welded at various points to create a honeycomb impression. Flashlight bodies provide the housing for bulb sockets containing LED lighting elements in oblong balloon-like glass enclosures. Vertically oriented half-lengthwise, views of three large faux antique bulbs are displayed. The long, straight LED filaments confirm a modern origin. Two crossed threads of spider silk sit highlighted against the blackness in the background. ###

Imagination under glass… where the story is in the light.
Imagination under glass… where the story is in the light. The frame is a landscape view of partially filled wine glasses set on a white tablecloth illuminated from overhead by an animated motion picture from a color LCD projector. The stemware, wine, tablecloth, lighting, and the shadows are tangible. The varied colors, patterns, and intensity are part of the show. In the projected background, a blue-gray surface of an electronic circuit board with light gray linear traces fills most of the upper left quarter of the frame. A light blue arc of the edge of a bowl flows upward from the lower left corner of the frame to ⅔ up the right-hand edge of the frame. A clouded, pastel view of leafy greens and indistinguishable other ingredients fill the lower right quarter of the frame. A single, clear wine glass stem and foot fill the center to slightly left of center view. Part of a similar foot to another glass is partially visible in the upper-right corner. The stem column acts as a cylindrical lens warping the background shapes into a kaleidoscopic cone at its center. The contents of each glass cast similar dark gray oblong shadows that suggest a pair of aviator sunglasses are set on the diagonal from lower left to upper right across the view. The upper shadow appears to be under the round glass foot at the upper right. The lower shadow blooms in the circuit board beneath the glass foot and the diverse lighting of wine legs along the sides of the glass bowl (out of view atop the stem). The legs bloom as short, dark petals atop a peony-shaped blossom. A starburst of white light erupts from the base of the glass stem to and an imaginary horizon beyond the base of the dark peony. The wine stem appears to have nailed the shadow to the tabletop. ###

Nothing to see here, but interesting light play on milled brass. Or, just maybe... an eye staring back.
Photo inspection of a water heater bypass valve filter port. It's a circular opening in the brass fixture. Some 5-6 cm deep, it's filled with shadow. The exterior brass is tarnished in a pattern of dark waves flowing left and right to either side of the opening. The effect seems one of a curious eye staring back at the camera. # # #

Light Wine 📱📷

Title: Light Wine 📱📷 The photograph presents a view of a single wine glass illuminated by fixed multipoint LED lighting. The view is down toward a partially visible glass of red wine, a slice of about one tenth of the width of the glass. Shadow in the glass outlines the bowl shape with dark lines. Red light ripples from the outlines in evenly spaced red wavelets. Edges of the bowl of the glass create lines of shadow. The oval shape of the bowl repeats in similar dark wavelets radiating outward across the countertop from a dark cavern or deep abyss beneath the glass. The surprise seems to be a wine clear enough to allow light to pass through multiple times. The liquid itself behaved as a lense with the wine-to-glass interface becoming a mirror. Refraction, reflection, and interference appear between the wine surface, the curved interior glass surfaces, the thick base of the stemless glass, and the light color of the wine. It creates the shadows and uneven embossed effects across parts of the countertop. Everything (camera, glassware, countertop, and lighting) is stationary. The mix of multiple layers, shaped surfaces, and varied air space between the glass surfaces results in overlayed shadows and refractions. It paints an artificially swirling two-dimensional landscape of light, umbras, and penumbras across the countertop. © David B.

Monday On Ice 📷📱

How's your mind's eye on a Monday? (I double-checked... in my longitude, anyway… inspiration from others' longitudinal Mondays is welcome).

#CircleShapesMonday #MondayRed #MoodyMonday #originalcontent #photography #photographerlife #shareyourparadise #samsung #S23Ultra
This is an overhead view of a circular plastic cup of strawberry Italian ice fresh from peeling away the foil top. Dead-center is the frozen imprint of an air bubble in the rounded form of an open mouth with a uvula. I see a tongue, a scream, a shout, the silence of one kneeling in prayer or meditation, a hoof print, a butt print, a helicopter news anchor view of a pair of breasts… like really… what's a guy not going to see first… the soft edges of a melting Valentine heart.

Title: Tails of A Looking Glass © David B. Stewart A stroll through Fischer-Gambino Furniture store, New Orleans, LA USA, is a bit is a bit like floating through a magical dream. The store is filled with eclectic and excessive artistic creations longing to be taken home. Dodging each piece, my head sails in following seas amidst bejeweled chandeliers as I slow dance the jungle of shapes, sculptures, lights, animals, sprites, and fairies. Alas. My home has less room than my wallet. #CircleShapesMonday #ColorfulMonday #beautifulmundanemonday #MoodyMonday #originalcontent #photographerlife #shareyourparadise #samsung #S23Ultra
