Early spring traveling on Rt. 87 Lebanon this day by car to the darkroom at Photosynthesis but my mind wanders to my youth as I would ride this road on my bike with friends from Coventry we would set out to explore sometimes riding 20 – 30 miles in a day. A new pond to skip rocks across, streams and big hills to race down fearless immortal kids. Fifty years later to the Lab, ten or so years ago to The Centennial Theater for summer theater dress rehearsal in Simsbury to photograph.
Yesterday hoping for an image or two between the rain drops or on the way back to chase the Golden Hour of late light. But there was no between the raindrops or Golden Hour. There was a visit with Carl and Maarit that made the sun shine within and the conversation with Tiana sharing her youth and dreams with us three sharing stories of youth and dreams. I told her I never thought I would be photographing barns but now as I think of being a kid in Coventry playing in haylofts the circle seems obvious. enjoy pjc

Photographic Art
I guess no one wants a free print? See previous posts for details.
“Entry Ways” from the beginning of my photographic life I have found mystery and stories behind every door. Are you going in or out you make up the story I’ll show you to the door. This is a new image of a door I traveled through many wonderful times in the past. Anyone know where this door resides? What was behind the door? enjoy pjc
Still time to wander round my site and help select images for Sept. show Post on site, this one will do, but a reason and some creative thought could win you a Print.
Black and White for Google Plus Belly Button Wednesday. Again I linger between the old and new. Retracing my work in the past 40 years editing for a show in September it is hard work as the mind wanders through past sessions some I remember yet there are many negatives that I think why was this never printed?
Any suggestions for my Sept. show are welcome, just add a comment on blog or galleries as simple as “this on.” A prize will be given to the most interesting reason posted here so “this one” won’t win the prize but will help. Images from the old site that do not have comments enabled just post the image name on the blog and I’ll figure it out. enjoy pjc
Back in time again to a Muse test in High Key from 2004, can I work in retrospect and the future at the same time? If I’m having a solo show which images would you choose? enjoy pjc
