Morning Juice

A simple glass of red juice caught in warm morning light — one of those small everyday moments that feels worth slowing down for.

I’m always drawn to how light can turn something ordinary into a quiet study of color, shadow, and texture. This piece is a reminder that even the most familiar things can hold a little surprise when you really look at them.

EAGLE GALLERY – SUMMER SESSION
I stopped by the Eagle Gallery at MSU this week while everything’s quiet for the summer. With no exhibits installed, the only light in the space comes from select gallery can lights left on for safety and security.
It’s a completely different experience seeing it this way. Without the usual full lighting, much of the gallery falls into shadow, and the contrast really shifts how the space feels. You start noticing shapes and details that usually go unseen.
It turned into a great opportunity to photograph the gallery from a new perspective which led to one of my latest works.

I just want to thank everyone who voted for me in the People’s Artist competition. I truly appreciate all the support—from friends, followers, and even people I didn’t know.
I started in a group of 88 and made it to first place by the 4th round. I held 1st through most of the 5th round before finishing 2nd, and was ultimately eliminated in the Wildcard Round as one of the final five.
Thank you again for all your support—it means a lot.

I call this one "Early Morning Shadows." I shot it when striped sunlight fell across a door — the light and the k**b made a quiet study in contrast and form.

What small morning detail stops you — light on a wall, steam from a mug, something else? Where would you hang this: entryway, study, or bedroom? I think it sits nicely in an entryway or next to a reading chair.
