Fine Art Photographer
Johns Old Truck from a Past Life.
Once I was or was I?
Today is tomorrow or yesterday.
It has always been about the adventure
Always the tomorrow
The best image I have created is the next one
Now it’s about yesterday
Old roads to rough to travel alone
Plan and re-plan
A journey that doesn’t start
To a world that doesn’t exist
In a forgotten memory

I have been adrift lately through a sea of old images. Perhaps I have always been adrift, never focused on one subject. But isn’t light seen and transposed into emotion a subject? Is not humanity a subject? So some days it is a breast some days a door. To me it is all light, all human intelligence inspiring thought. What is behind that door? How wonderful the back light caresses the nipple that brings life to a newborn. I pose the question you decide if you will enter through the door or exit to a vanilla upgrade.
I write sometimes as promised in a previous post a poem “Between Here and There” to come not this week but soon. My verbal images tend to be darker than my visuals. This week was dark enough for me anyway. There is a plethora of retrospect in my life now, revisiting thousands of glimpses of light and emotion from thirty eight years of motion made still. What comes next? No answer, no exit. “Something always comes next.”

Models sought for final Kodachrome/Transparencies sessions
Galilee Rhode Island a portrait of a simpler time of small business and hard work, fresh fish not fish sticks or MacLead patties.
On March eleventh I started posting “The Galilee Portfolio” an old road I am re-traveling. I was there again the week before last. The images I made were on B+W film and color transparencies. Sure there was a couple of digital images for the instant gratification crowd but these are also instantly forgotten. Snapshots for fun. Since 2004 till late February I had no place to print my own art. Now I do so here is the way I see it after much thought, over the next year I will be printing old portfolios/projects. Some of these images will be previewed here. Once a month I’ll have a Salon where these new prints will be available. There may be one to three of each image with around 500 rolls of film to choose from most of these old road/new prints will not be visited again. Watch for location of the May Salon. enjoy pjc
