Description
This one has changed meanings for me a few times since I shot it. At first it represented hatred and anger, now it represents love and affection. Funny how things can change...What a long strange trip it's been...
Enjoy

Wow. Incredible. Seriously, this is amazing.
I definitely like the newer meaning of it best, personally. It seems to me to have an almost intimate feeling, soft and a little bit surreal. I've been browsing your gallery a bit, and I'm absolutely amazed at what you can do with glass (and liquid, too, for that matter).
It really is just gorgeous, if not outright awe-inspiring. Beautiful work.

Dave - is there any way to get a print of some of your works? My husband and I love them and need some new art for the walls
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, there is but it's ridiculously expensive (from about $850 US and up). Hell I can't even afford my prints any more. I have a bunch of galleries handling my stuff these days and it's all under contract. It's sort of ridiculous and I have to deal with it for the next year or two. After that I can give them away if I want but until then my hands are tied... Works out great financially for me but its a real pain in the butt when a friend asks for a print.
I should have stuck with my 'just doing this for fun' idea I had when I began shooting.
Sorry Sue...

....Incredible. Not only the crazy concept of using objects like that, but also my favorite color combo blue and green. I can't believe you'd perceive that as ever being hate and anger! They're such bright, vibrant colors don't you think? It's pretty awesome how you messed both cups up, so to speak, to make such an abstract concept. It's GREAT. I LOVE IT!
I think, in your description for this picture, you should go further into detail about what this picture means to you, what the symbolisms mean to you. Cuz this is a deep picture.
Tell me if you ever do change your description and extend on it.

You always have some really amazing photography and it is really a treat to the eyes to see your work. I love your lighting techniques and the silhouettes are amazing.
Thank you.

The colors are so wonderfully vibrant, I love your photography
And where are your pictures like this taken? Do you have your own white studio or is that edited to look that way (the background)?
Hmm I find it strange that these colors represent love and affection to you when the moods most commonly associated with the colors would be jealousy and sadness but I guess the positions of the glasses may influence you to choose different moods...It just shows your artistic mind can definitely take a different perspective
Oh and what sort of liquid is that? The vibrance almost reminds me of Jones Soda

I like this meaning much better than the old one!
To me it represents what I've always believed in that two should not become one because then that makes two halves. I think two wholes, still individuals...sometimes completely different from one another, intertwined is much more interesting...although it is inevitable that some slight loss of oneself will occur, it's not always a bad thing. But that's just my take on it.
At any rate, it's still a beautiful shot.

cheers GiZ

ok, i have a few questions for you, as usual lol.
First off, how did you manage to eliminate any reflections from the glass? Did you use a polarisation filter perhaps? Second I wanted to know what liquids you use for your images. Ive seen many colourful works of yours (this one and all others in this series are on your site correct?) but I always wonder what you use. is it water with something in it?
anyway, very well done. would also love to know how this represents love and affection....in what way I mean.

The image is totally back lit hence no reflections since there's no direct lighting. Water with food coloring is my poison of choice for color liquids...
Thanks bro...

One of the things I've noticed on your conceptual pieces is the way you deal with colours. You tend to set it all up as to have an almost plain background, in order to convey all the colours or textures or attention to the most important parts of the picture... In this case, the water and the glasses...
Dave, this is great!

All I can say, is "SUPERB!" Normally, this type of photography does not usually "do" it for me, but this is flawless, my friend.

Every time I look at your conceptual deviations.
I go like: Wrong category, this should be in "3D & Fractal Art -> 3-Dimensional Art -> Objects" or something.
and then I look again and go, dAMN!.
This one is great.
How did you create the hole in the glass?

I used a dremel tool and diamond bit. Thanks so much for the compliment!!!!

That's awesome. I can definitely see both meanings in it.
It's really beautiful.
Just how many glasses do you go through in an average week, anyway?
