A Sea of Glass - The Chihuly Exhibit at the Bellagio in Vegas

I've always thought the Dale Chihuly glass sculptures are some of the coolest things in the world. I'd love to learn how to blow glass. It always looks dangerous and exotic. I remember when I got my HDTV a few years ago, one of the first shows I saw was when Chihuly was doing this exhibit in Venice. He spent some time in Murano, which is near Venice and a famous place for glass blowing. They made these amazing sculptures then hung them all over Venice. I wish I could have gone there to take photographs of the event!

In other news, I was interviewed yesterday by an extremely nice guy named Victor Cajiao who hosts a podcast called "Typical Shutterbug". Click there and you can hear my interview. We talk a little about the upcoming book, HDR, do's and don't, and this sort of thing.
