Haiku: Reflections of Glass

This macro photograph highlights three vintage glass bottles in a collection from my youth, the oldest aged 125 years. The beauty of each, in my opinion, resides in the individual and unique imperfections – air bubbles, chips, scratches, asymmetry, discoloration and stains – all of which I continue to appreciate.
