2013, Day 124 - Glacier

One of my neighbors has truck that they consider a beater.  It goes to the dump, picks up soil, is lent to people for moves, it is a good old work truck.  A few days ago, on the way to the dump, they had to stop suddenly and an old oven tipped into the window in the back and it broke.  No one was hurt but being tempered glass it all cracked.  I like the breaks throughout and how the way it has fallen apart has left a pinnacle reaching upward.

2010, Day 89 - Glass

Glass is an amazing material; light, beautiful, inert, clean and capable of great beauty. Andy Paiko is a childhood friend of my brother's and he is also a Portland resident (it's surprising how many people from the same small town in California have ended up here). Despite the struggling economy Andy is still able to make a living from blown glass and when you see it you won't be surprised. He kindly allowed me into his shared studio space so that we could catch up and I could complete another day's assignment.
