[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Sergio let me take a pic while he's working on a dog's ears. Murano is famous for its glass-blown vases, lampmaking, & miniature glass art.

"In 1291, all the glassmakers in Venice were forced to move to Murano due to the risk of fires. In the following century, exports began, and the island became famous, initially for glass beads and mirrors." -wiki

Pp: Omni-lit focusing on the torch for effect, sharpened, & resized. His GF is blocking his left elbow and I don't wanna crop the pic so I inset a before PP photo for comparison.

Hello Alfred,

Here in Brazil, we have a city that sell these murano vases, beautiful pieces and of big visual, I imagine Sérgio, that has my name also in his concentration, molding a vase or other arrangement done of this material.
I also found interesting and I learned a little on where all this began.
Congratulations
Ciao

Sérgio
