Woody Douglas
Periodically I like to stop and gather photography and create an online gallery because the work of a certain individual glass collector is so wonderful. Most recently I have created Galleries for Jeff and Holly Noordsy and Mike Holzwarth. Today, I would like to post a few photographs by Woody Douglas from Medford, Massachusetts. I only know Woody on facebook but wow, his photography, usually in windows with still lifes of glass, takes my breath away. They are full of emotional elements such as light, shadow and transparency. Each shot has an element of mystery. Woody really understands composition and natural light. Enjoy…
I typically expand these galleries on PRG with new pictures so check back…
The Darwin Collection – The design of most contemporary flasks is a rare example of a genetic mutation causing evolution to come to a grinding halt. Given a choice I would naturally select a flask from the early 19th century any day. – Woody Douglas
