The spikey back of a glass seahorse is reflected into a glass surface to create this abstract photograph.

Spiny Reflection

“Somebody went to Cozumel and all they got me was this stinkin’ t-shirt.” That was one of the most memorable gifts I got from my father, and it was great for a laugh, but I don’t think I ever wore it.

My dad went away scuba diving every year and he always came home with a gift for me, it could be anything from seashells to foreign money, and he always had a freshly developed pile of slides to show me his underwater adventures.

The scuba trip souveneir I love most is this whimsical glass seahorse. Aside from a few shells, the seahorse is the one gift that survived my childhood and made it into my adult décor. It sits in a little cube in my studio that I’ve turned into a mini ocean view.

It’s also what I used to make the reflection in this photograph.
