FRAGILE – The story of two young glass lovers
This project born from the great talent of two young glass lovers and makers Maya Lapp and Denis Perera. A partnership in work and also in romance -after completing their studies they shaped their dream into a reality and opened a Laboratory where the Made in Italy school is the driver for their creations and work and Glass MaDe is subsequently born in Belluno, Dolomiti - Italy.
Watch these Italian artisans Create Bubble-Wrap inspired glass
FRAGILE is a design project that centres on process, materials, inspiration and experimentation.
Being inspired by a material that support's of their daily activities, they discover the bubble wrap as main element for experimenting with in a new process: the glass - in its liquid stage - is flexible, easy to shape, like a Bubble Wrap cover that is usually used to protect the fragility.
An irrepressible desire to play with this bubble canvas has driven Maya and Denis to conceive a design object that could work like a funny interpretation of this concept.
The final result is an incredible verisimilitude, wherever the art is placed it invites the viewer to touch and explore with their own hands, a concrete physical interaction that is unusual due to the fragile nature of the glass, a material which creates an detached contemplation.
FRAGILE is a limited edition of 200 numbered pieces available exclusively at www.studiomeddle.com

Travel Photography – Details, Details
Its tough capturing the "feel" of a place when you're traveling. There's so much to see and do that its easy to suffer from sensory overload. Whenever I photograph a Texas town for the first time I like to capture some of the little details that stand out in my mind. Its the small details, like the texture in these straw hats, that really form a lasting memory for me.

Landscape Photography – Long Sunset
One thing you'll notice about amateur photographers is that they tend to pack up and leave right after sunset. The next time you're out taking sunset shots look around and notice that many experienced amateurs and professionals will continue shooting well past sunset. It's this time about 30 minutes past sundown when the wind becomes still and the sky turns an incredible dark blue or purple color.
This first shot was taken just a few minutes after sunset when the colors were at their brightest.

Shot taken with a Canon EOS 50D set on aperture priority (Av) using an EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM tripod mounted. The exposure was taken at 24m, f/9.5 for 1/90th of a second at ISO 100 on Lexar Professional digital film. Post capture processing was done in Lightroom 2. Click on the image above for a larger version.
The second shot was taken several minutes later when the wind had stopped and the sky had turned a beautiful shade of blue. The deep, saturated colors make waiting around after dark well worth the effort.

Nature Photography – The Rose
I took this shot last Saturday afternoon at the Mercer Arboretum just north of Houston, Texas. It was mostly cloudy that day and the lighting was perfect for photographing flowers in the late afternoon. The image was taken at f/4.5 to control the depth field and create nice bokeh in the background. I shot this rose looking almost straight down and manually focused on the center petals to make sure it was the sharpest point in the image. Its hard to go wrong when the light is soft and the subject is a beautiful flower.
