Color simple digital image. I wanted to post a few from my ride to Great Falls Discovery Center but the three and one half month old computer no longer reads my CF card? Maybe I didn’t get the memo or the upgrade for now I assume it’s me. One of the three of me’s, reality Peter, Pixel Pete, the third being to constant battle to be one or the other? LOL What’s important? Speed, Convenience, goodnuff not for me. Reality Peter has been trying to switch back to B+W film. But some will say speed and convenience are more important than quality? Is it, is it goodnuff “Is that all there is?”

Same image decaffeinated.

Can you decide from your maybe balanced screen or you 2×3 inch phone screen? Not me all the devices in the world will not bring you the emotion of a print. Please make the trip to Turners Fall to see my work as prints/art! Show runs through Sept. with an Artist Reception Saturday Sept. 8th from 1-3pm. Turners Falls is a visual old Mill Town lot’s to do on a Autumn day. Real Prints
That’s all there is! 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

Photographic Art It’s time to go and create. One more image using a Roberta Sulls Painting in Background.

Flying West to see my Granddaughter, Daughter and her Husband.

January 19th a day later than planned Winter chose to visit Seattle first. Off from Green airport in a prop jet image made at about 2000 ft if you look under the engine those white spots are houses. Shooting at 1/2000 of a second almost stops the prop but believe me it was working well.

After boarding for Seattle and getting as comfortable as possible for a 5 hour flight the pilot came on and said the flight was cancelled. A new line to stand in and ponder the ad photo that had/is causing a stir? No definite opinion here, sure it is a bit racy if that’s what you seek to see. Seems like a weak target for the right.

So I got a great hotel room and price at Embassy Suites took the shuttle over had a salad, went to my suite turned on one of the two big flat screen TVs for five minutes and realized it’s 11:30 and I have a 4:45 wake up call. YIKES it has been a while since I have seen 4:45 I wondered does it really exist? It does! Got to the lobby in time to here Prince singing Party like it’s 1999, 5:15 am where’s the coffee? None available “What” well there was a pot in my suite but powdered creamer. No way.

6:15 am Dulles Coffee, laptop and a comfortable seat.

Arriving in SF I called my daughter and her husband both lines straight to voice mail? Did they get the message I was heading for Portland instead of Seattle? Pretty sure I had talked to them about it but was tired. Arrived in Portland OR. and tried to call again. Straight to voice mail? Sat and watched the empty baggage claim for a few minutes, called Rees, had him Call back to make sure I was receiving incoming calls. I was. Hmmm? Ten minutes later my daughter called to tell me they were on the way and that they had no electricity or cell service at the house. But they had gas hot water and a wood stove, and Inara would be making her first out of state trip to meet me and her first out to dinner adventure. GREAT!

There are no words to describe how I felt Just WOW. enjoy pjc
