A Recent Walk Sept 1st

09.03.2018 by Peter J. Crowley // 1 Comment

September first around the block thoughts on negative space and composition.

1954 Chevy Pick-Up Sept 1st 2018

Negative space how what isn’t your subject defines whether it is a snapshot or a photograph. On this image my concept and space reality made me crop this shot. A car parked behind and bushes that constrained my space to back up. I like the angle of the truck but this position removed the car it also added to much  front yard across the street. I like the crop alright but oh to be able to step back 18 inches.

Plums Ripen and fall to the sidewalk.

Triangles a prime aspect of composition push the viewers eyes to your subject. The obvious one is the branches caressing the plums. More subtle triangles the leaf in the upper left like a pin ball bumper directs your eye back to the plums as does the leaf in the lower right. If you look hard there are many little ones but all lead to subject.

The Circle and Season

05.09.2012 by Peter J. Crowley // 4 Comments

The Circle and the Season

I see the circle
Round and Round
Never sure where it is bound
Starting little
Outward Bound
I see the circle
Round and Round

Born the circle very small
Mom, Dad and relatives is all
In the blink of an eye

Crawling round
The circle widens
Exploration found
Walking Running
Day care, Pre school
The circle grows
Blink again

High School College
The circle large
Strong and sound
I see the circle
Round and round
Still growing larger
Outward bound

Careers distance sadness
The growing circle
Settles down
Families little circles

Award winning pregnancy study

Start a new
I see the circle
Round and round
Early departures War and Peace

 Fifty feeling thirty
Living hard running wild
I’ve seen that circle


Round and Round


Round and Round

Looking back through the circles of life

Round and Round

Do you live in a house or a home? Simple question or not. Is your decor trendy or just you? Was it trendy during your favorite time of your life? Functional or frivolous? A Lot can be told by your abode, sometimes it is comfort other times it is fashionable but is it you? Identity as avatars and screen names become part of life or do you become your avatar? Some thoughts on identity at link above. enjoy pjc


House

Is there someone there waiting to wag his tale? Home.
