Exploding with light

Hello everyone, I apologize for not being around much lately, I try to catch up when I have the free time. I haven't had much time to shoot lately, mostly only in class. Heather and I are now shooting for bTwisted jewelry and we've been busy buying equipment and setting up our new home studio/ moving furniture/ cleaning out junk.
