    glass abstract #2

    I acquired these many years ago at a salvage yard. As I recall they were supposed to be for the mirror assemblies in the periscopes used in tanks. Apparently there was some problem with them (probably not the right size) and so they ended up in salvage and I got them for a couple of dollars for a box of 50. I started playing around with them the other day and am finally getting a feel for how I can photograph them and also how their image responds to different Photoshop techniques. For example, to the naked eye they don't appear anywhere near as dirty and discolored as they do in this photograph.
     
    The following music is quite appropriate to the photograph with its repeated elements combining to make something "more." In it the composer has taken the same melody line and, using it over and over again on top of itself, arrives at an amazing 8-part harmony (at least I think that's 8-part harmony).

    Oh a sleeping drunkard up in Central Park / Or the lion hunter In the jungle dark

    Or the Chinese dentist or the British Queen / They all fit together In the same machine

    Nice, nice, very nice
    Nice, nice, very nice
    So many people in the same device

    Oh a whirling dervish and a dancing bear / Or a Ginger Rogers and a Fred Astaire

    Or a teenage rocker or the girls in France / Yes, we all are partners in this cosmic dance

    Nice, nice, very nice
    Nice, nice, very nice
    So many people in the same device
