There’s hardly a day when I don’t glimpse something that makes me think “Wow that’s amazing – how can I capture this and share it?” Sometimes it’ll be a weather effect that catches my attention, or a whimsical detail added to a building that transforms the ordinary into the magical.

Thinking about “The Impact of Light”, I remembered holiday times by a pool, where I’ve watched the changing patterns on the bottom, made by the sun and the surface ripples. I’ve tried to capture that movement with my glass, the duck is my whimsy.
