James Byrnes: Ornaments Galore

Jim had so many great ornaments it was hard to pick just a few for this blog post.  We shot 73 I think it was so he could put together a catalog of images both online and in print.  Once we got a routine going it moved along quite nicely.  You can learn more about Jim at his website James f Byrnes Blown Glass.


I wan't sure what Jim was doing when he brought out the bag of candy but it all soon became clear.  Now this is my kind of ornament, so good you can taste it.






Jim used frit to create this colored texture around the center globe.  I had to reach out and touch it.  That is one of the perks of photographing art you get to touch the pieces.


 A shot of the set up below.  The shooting table works perfectly for these mostly translucent pieces and the two mini moles looking down on that pick up any opaque color in the design.  Jim made the stand that the ornaments are hanging on just for this shoot.


Yes that is me, Jim grabbed a camera and snapped a few pictures.  It's our action shot.
