blown bulb, vii

I didn’t expect to take these pictures. I just knew that the bulb that blew in the lamp that I keep on my office desk made a lovely white blast pattern on the glass and that I wanted to shoot it, but I didn’t expect this play of color and light when I did.

The results surprised me the way filmmaker Stan Brakhage’s The Text of Light (shot through a crystal ashtray) surprised me when I first saw it as a student, lucky enough to be at one of his screenings.

I know it’s not even close to what he pulled off, but a girl’s gotta start somewhere.

	Katayun says: I love the colours and reflections of this photo. All swirly blue and green with the sharper fleks of creamy white. Tis my favourite out of the photos. The little bit of filament just makes it for me. Posted 23 months ago. ( permalink )
