1-28-15 Darby’s on 5th downtown Great food fun creative folks. A new series take a first step from the mind to the shutter. New ideas a plenty.

February 11th 2015 outside of Burial Grounds a bag of Dark Knight exquisite dark roast. A mocha and a chat with this man posing for photo the only fraction of a second where he wasn’t laughing very pleasant.

And when you aren’t running, you are thinking about running!!!

My ears are filled with music. From Miles, Coltrane to Iggy Pop and Lou the sound track to my life compiled by Marko. The Punk Rock Jukebox Thursday 12-3pm

The other day just back from the market, Dr., Coffeehouse depends on which the other day this was. Urban Sunset just outside my door.

If you aren’t running you are at least thinking of running. Youth racing on to growing up running. When you finally can stop running to savor life the running is worth it. Now I ain’t running but I still think of it. The pace is so strange mostly I watch it go by till a pause in the speed and focus surrounds.

A couple of Torsos, Photographic Sculpture. As I continue to work digitally I have begun to speak the language. Found these two images that I was unhappy with the scans. Redid the density and contrast added sharpening. They are not perfect but much better. enjoy pjc

The rolling torso like dancing without motion. The light moves over and

around motion implied to complete the dance.

Doors Held Open by Friends

Hold a door for me

A Life in Photographic Art my second book details here

Morning in Olympia, no really daybreak I rarely see this maybe it is still time zones, bad sleep, pain? But today the sun has come up dancing through my window. Old roads in Willi I always saw the Sun Rise. Norwich the first 10 years up and out early for I only had North windows but the Coffee was hot and the company was invigorating creative from Kyrena’s to Merrihews both opened at 8 but the door was open to me when I arrived between 7 and 7:30 warm Portuguese rolls at Merrihews and by the second third cup of joe Kyrena was bringing me a small plate of the lunch special. Try this Peter yum it was always perfect. Does it need a little more … Maybe a touch. The Reverend Jim at Kyrena’s and Shannon, Jim played a starring roll throughout my travels and the changing Coffee shops forward to City Perk and Kokopeleis. Latitudes on weekends at first and Joanne enters along Michelle who I had photographed through the window of Kyrena’s with Berta and The Scribe serving coffee. Kokopeli’s my Grumpy cup from Amanda was always full. The Muse was blooming.

Jeff and Jennifer Bishop holding doors open for me even thought I was dead during the 2011 troubles. Jeff helping me into the digital age while keeping my focus solid in film. Jennifer a calm voice to answer insulin questions and be there laughing about growing up together before we met. Two reasons to love the internet. Rees from Flagstaff another pixel friend who has become a real life confident creative and highly into B+W

I sit and write remembering a yellow poster with a wooden stool on it my daughter had in her room when she was “3ie” “Sometimes I sit and think, sometimes I just sit.” The Muse will be here soon and my mind will be taken to wonderful realms of creativity. Many more friends have held doors for me Marko sending me music when I need now listening to Punk Rock Jukebox from 2011 dedicated to me while I was hospitalized. peace pjc
