June 18th, 2009
I have started to venture into product photography and was fortunate enough to have one of the country’s most renowned potters/sculptors right at my door step – Jim Spires. Here are some photos of his face jars that will be entered in this year’s Biennale of Modern Art in Italy. Enjoy!

OK, so I’ll admit – but not to sound creepy. It’s my inner artist who is writing here. What I’m about to post makes me almost giddy. God, I’m so blessed to have great models like that. Like the previous batch… More good stuff to come. Enjoy!
