Norwich Ct. Angles Triangles Simplicity of Creating

02.20.2012 by Peter J. Crowley // 1 Comment

Still here in the past this from 2001 an image I sometimes love and sometimes feel it is a near miss. Image made on film scanned from print with a little burning and dodging to fit this medium for viewing. Prints of course are the best way of viewing. My images are simple, not simplistic. Simplicity is the hardest concept to grasp. In this latest and greatest new and improved world. Perhaps the shot is too busy? Perhaps mundane? Well my B+W is all shot on film composed in the viewfinder printed without cropping. I am repeating myself sorry. A story partially told you can ponder and add the rest of the story. See Andrea’s comment. While drinking coffee late this morning I was on another site where the photographer had loaded a roll of film yesterday and last night dreamed he had blown the whole roll. “Waking” in the dream he tried to look at the histogram but film has not histogram nor preview window on the back. Awake and posting on Google+ he was considering the idea of throwing out the film and putting away the film camera and throwing out the film without exposing. I guess he could not work without crutches anymore. Perhaps he was kidding? But I know all too many photographers who seek an instant destination rather than a journey. So what do you think? Is my image to busy? Does it lead you to memories? enjoy pjc

The Studio 2004

What cha working on?

Yes the minions now much older. But the forecast remains the same.

A piece from a show that we worked together on. We worked and fantasized together on numerous shows, remember the plastic dog poop? Or the catapult of egg tempera paint.

Here from a June 2004 show is the post card Berta had me do a series of portraits to illustrate “My Own Voice” It was a great show. I am pretty sure I have a Berta portrait from almost all her shows. Someday I will print them all and perhaps we will have another show together? Berta, Kelly, Aaron enjoy your adventure. New London, and Norwich arts communities will miss you all. enjoy pjc
