June Thirteenth 2017

There is always the Flowers

There is always the flowers

A meaningful image

A face, a form, a metaphor,

A muse

Many old images populate my circle

No images in _ No images out

There is always the flowers

Soul an image that speaks

A story told and retold

The Rectangle is empty

There is always the flowers

I still seek the highlight and shadows

Contrast communication

Life is middle gray

Meds, meals, meals meds bed

The dream  awakened by reality

There is always the flowers

The rectangle in dark

A Model Review of Session Twenty Seven Years Later

May 12, 2017 By Peter J. Crowley 4 Comments

When I was working with Subjects [Model a different kind picked by me not the internet] after a session a week or so we would review the contact sheets both selecting what we felt worked. I also would look again a year or so later which would  allow me to see images that I hadn’t chosen after the session. Memory fresh just after the session our conversations, laughs and the smell of home made spaghetti sauce receding, like music the smell was a mood setter. A new view of form shape and emotion appeared. Now 27 years and the view is very different.

Stronger eye contact.

The session was a test for a period late 40’s Soft, romantic a women alone observed. We shot a couple rolls of color as the final images were to be hand colored. I printed two B+Ws neither of them are now represented. A different view, times changed and I see more today in the stronger self aware images.

Alone in her world this is more the feel I was looking for inspired by Louis Icart. She is still comfortable in herself just a bit more romanticized. 

This image is the next step from a session to be hand colored. A warm toned print for the period. Then Kathleen Lepak adds the color with Marshall Oils and patience, the result was magic.

An Alley and two faces of love Olympia 2001

January 11, 2017 By Peter J. Crowley 3 Comments

My third visit to Olympia Sept. 2001

Manholes and a stroll down an alley.

As I review the images from my life I find in 2001 I made more negatives of people I would just approach around town. I do less people now I wonder is it me that is less inspired to speak with folks or is it the times.
