I loved the glass of the lamp and took a few shots to try to capture it. My first one, this one, was really underexposed and I thought I blew it and continued with another three or four shots until I got the glass. I imported them into LR and saw the filament in this one and just loved it. I loved the idea that there was the spark of light and that I've hardly ever seen it. The glass seemed so mundane compared to this little feat of engineering. Who would have ever thought of taking a tiny filament, sticking it in an airtight bubble of glass and then pumping 100W into it to create a tool we can't live without anymore. Capturing the filament was one of those happy accidents.
A photo of an Edison (long-filament) bulb I just acquired. No filter here, but the HDR setting on my iPhone gave it an interesting appearance.
With closer inspection of the micro fiber optic filament carefully and intentionally inserted into the figural pigment application; it gives one an opportunity to get closer to the mind and thought process behind the individual responsible for this piece.
Observation:
1. The micro fiber optic filament had to be intentionally left within the head of the left facing figure; otherwise an arbitrary or accidental placement would could have been in the lower extremity or somewhere else within the pigment application. The filament was left protruding from the head of the figure; most likely indicating intention, in contrast to arbitrary or accidental breakage.
2. The outer shape and form of the stone falls in the category of what I call a galaxy stone. There are literally thousands upon thousands of stones on this site; however the pieces with fiber optic filaments remaining in the pigment applications coupled with the shape of the galaxy stone are few and very far between.
3. This image or symbol initially appears to be a curious specimen of a left facing figure; however the content of this image is actually three complex symbols connected together in a graduated line: the first being the pyramidal base with an over lay of may symbols and figures within the pyramidal base, including a square luminescent object in the lower left quadrant below the base figural image; similar to a star in our night sky. Conclusion narrative: the creator or artist is creating a curved based similar to a boat or perhaps the concave shape of the lower/opposite/ far side our galactic entity, and paired with the square luminescent star-like material on the opposite side of the curvature could represent a point of origin; perhaps indicating the opposite side of where earth exists within their geographic field possibly our Galaxy???
4. The second and middle image system is the similar left facing individual with the facial characteristic of fox/canine shaped nose. With careful observation the line symbol in the center of the field may be a transit or travel line. The narrative indicates a person on one side of a travel/transit line facing downwards; almost like being on the opposite side of earth, or even possibly our galaxy; the individual is then on the opposite side of the transit line facing upwards in our direction indicating dimensional travel from one dimension to another, similar to travel on the opposite side of the earth???
5. The third and upper symbol is a left-facing form of an individual with a more rounded, bulbous nose bearing the symbol of the cosmic egg holding a figural protruding from the arched symbol. The arched symbol/ridge bears three symbols running along the galaxy curvature within the middle figure. This triad of complex symbols may most likely be similar in form to a modern "Calling Card" indicating the individuals's point of origin, his passage mapping, and his arrival at our final destination; Is that at all possible???
6. Notice the light echo in the upper left quadrant; it almost mirrors the complex image on the far right of the stone.
