A moments pause by my Muse an image is made. An invitation to ponder, what is being said by this subject, this Photographic Artist. “Every image you make is a self portrait” be it a beautiful young muse wide eyes or a textured wood colored barn. Images all speak to you in a silent wonderful visual language. Are the words the same to all. No, does she speak the same words every time you look no, nor does the barn. “A photograph is a secret about a secret the more it tells you the less you know.” Diane Arbus. It is your day about which she speaks an ambiguous, solitary, alluring. You correspond the emotion to the image. Image made in 2004 silver gelatin print. Eight years later she still speaks to me different words with each view, they all still speak with me, Barns, Rivers, Abstracts… enjoy pjc

The year was 2000 yet it seems so long ago twelve years is a long time or the blink of the shutter in a creative mind. The season was spring, the circle begins with a flourish at Caprilands Herb Farm in Coventry Ct. Image made on B+W film despite all the color I like this best a moody mystical image of what is but never was.

From a study done in 2000 low key light and negative space create Triangles to define the form. A little wrinkle in the background helps imply the third dimension as the small sidelight bounces off the thigh and posts a highlight on lower leg. B+W film scanned from a print. It is hard these days to find tattoo free models. Maybe I’m just behind the times. enjoy pjc

From the Last Session with my Muse of two years. An early image in the “Layered Life Portfolio.” We wandered around Westerly RI it was a perfect day. The image made on High St in the window of 84 High Street Cafe a great place to eat and socialize, the little boy inside, the woman on the left exiting and the Muse behind me reflecting in the window. Reflecting back this is one of my favorite images of The Muse. Perhaps one of my all time favorites but so many images it is hard to say for sure. So many unprinted negatives, my current health keeps me only able to print for an hour or two so I will share past images my favorites and some thoughts on creation perhaps you may pick up and idea or two.
