A Life in Photographic Art

Welcome and thank you to Molly Walsh riding shotgun on this journey.

For many years I have been told, working on, encouraged to create a second book. You might say I have been creating visual words for this publication since 1971. Now some 200,000 images later the publication begins takes shape. 

new online-6 Shoe bench At 50-10 I was cruising along creating caring for my mom living forever. 50-11 changed that having my third near death experience I spent the next two years recovering. Mom dies and I struggle with the changes.  50-14 another disease and I move to Washington. 

new online-8 bikeThe book on back burner my memory suffering concussions and comas will do that. Two years living out of boxes physically in Olympia but my soul is somewhere between Norwich, Willi, Coventry and here. 50-16 it is time health stable [sort of] I place an ad at Evergreen for an intern. Molly Walsh arrives. Smart, talented organized who laughs freely. 

new online-11 H-C LilyAdd to her mix a love of Photography Film Photography! All images here are film the color is prints of negatives she made in the darkroom. All the images except the one below were made before we met.

new online-1 window 4thSome days we work on files organization she keeps me on point. I do have a tendency to distraction. Other days we wander shooting film. Discussing Photographic Philosophy, technique, seeing.  Seeing is what I teach, music, politics, smell and texture. The making of a photograph is made up of all these elements. Every image is a self portrait. I preach she knows. On a downtown stroll I saw this window and reflections I stop to shoot she steps a bit further and makes this negative. Reaching beyond the auto everything mode, presets on your hand held copy machine she creates Art a story is told. 

bay-1 Molly Image for promoSo we begin the first step to publishing my Life in Photographic Art. A $2000 funding page. The first step. I am not a fan of internships. Good work deserves good pay. Much of this first wave of funding will be for her. The next wave is seeking a publisher, perhaps a sample chapter a very collectable perk. The journey continues with your help a book will be published. My life as a metaphor for the 50-16 years and beyond.  enjoy pjc

A Life in Photographic Art

Different directions the days and decades offer. Light performing as youth, passion, motion, emotion. Real, surreal, erotic abstracts. Excess where possession replaces passion.

The Muse who is The Muse? What is The Muse?

November 3, 2006 By Peter J. Crowley 13 Comments

A Life in Photographic Art my second book

My muse of two or more years. It is always the eyes that separate art from glamour. These eyes tell the story and explore the soul of the artist. Her eyes are my eyes, my eyes are hers, speaking volumes to those who listen.
Inspiration and creation, the muse is both sometimes she is a women, sometimes not. Working with a muse that is a women is a very intimate experience.
Sometimes you know right away that the connection is right, again it is the eyes they speak and dance in a language that only you can hear it is magic! We work, talk, laugh and the time disappears. She is a mirror of my reason for creating, an alphabet for me to comment with, we dance this creative minuet both thinking we are in control both knowing that neither of us is, there is only the moment it is brief, lasting forever.
There is more to come here including thoughts from The Muse, I hope to find others thoughts also on their creative muses. As I said the muse isn’t always a women or even a person. It is creation, it is thought, it is emotion. Comments are encouraged I don’t want to write to myself.
Share some creation. enjoy pjc
