Editing through the last two months there are a lot of unposted work that I like. 

Window light with a dirty window for texture November Eleventh.

 

Sun and ice cream in the late afternoon light.

The father ship glows while the astronaut gathers samples of  human sweets.

Halloween visitors.

The late sixties so many vans parked in my yard and on the road, to concerts, Vt. trips. Give me life on the road memories sparked by this old van. Dropping off forms at Homes First a portrait for November First. One of two images that day.

November 12th a one image day but I like the image. Rain continues to shorten my photo strolls.

November 10th dodging showers I had a good walk.

Angles of food, umbrella the geometric patterns caught my eye as this friendly shopper walked by me. May I take you photo? Yes she turned and I missed the angle I had seen as she approached.

November Fifth 2021 A Tree ————-An Ent

11.06.2021 by Peter J. Crowley // 10 Comments

The historic tree down the street a subject often shot. Like Arnold Prince told me the figure is in the stone you just bring it out. The image was in my head but hadn’t been released. November 5th I saw it at last. 

I stood in the street drinking coffee as the tree and clouds shared many moods.

Brilliant color from nature and my minds eye.

Dark, cold stormy this Giant Ent had tales to tell. I listened for over thirty minutes. The thoughts warm sepia bringing comfort to strong dark, cold and stormy.

The sky provided rapidly changing frames for me to create.

November 3rd another favorite hard wood of mine. Maybe it is their age or that there are fewer out west than in Connecticut. 

Color surrounds the last leaves.

September First through the Seventh

09.08.2021 by Peter J. Crowley // 7 Comments

New images from a tough few days.

Sept 1st a weed, a very pretty weed cut by accident put in my Heineken vase. This “weed” has provided me with a new bloom most days over the last two weeks. It doesn’t know that we humans think it is an invasive weed.  Myself I think it is pretty and wonder about what or who may be an invasive species?

A photo bombing moth on my bark image. I did not see it then while I adjusted the camera contrast to make another sans moth. I didn’t even see it on first review. Cunning little moth. 

On the seventh of September this roofs triangle came together. Perhaps a year or more I have watched and pondered this image. Diagonal wires often in the way or the light was wrong, but on the 7th the wires pulled tighter I guess from the most recent wind storm. Light, time of day and time of year and I have my triangles. If you have been fortunate or trapped in a discussion of photography, art and composition you know how I feel about triangles in seeing, creating.

Back to Sept first one from a two minute session a very fine two minutes. Perhaps I should add another? 

Molly’s Gate in a creative way. Molly was my intern, driving force in the publishing of my second book, Another Door Entered. We would walk, I would talk about composition and shooting film. She saw this and knew there was something there.  During her hours with me the gate always had the wrong light. We shot post processed still no magic or story. I was pretty sure it was morning light needed to tell a tale. Well apparently early afternoon light in the beginning of Sept. was jut what She/We wanted.

Color and a breeze on Sept 6th. The variegation with the approach of Autumn applied the color variations. But where are the triangles, motion and what role does the negative space play? Triangles are apparent throughout  the leaf’s with a left to right focus drop off providing a gentle movement. Aperture, distance and angle of view paint the negative space.

Another from my September 6th stroll a couple hours after my most recent hospital release. Image made and seen always seeing as an artist creating verbal images to communicate my emotions.

Color just vibrant color, simple, warm, waning afternoon summer light on Sept. sixth. Light is my pen to write stories to you with my emotions. This pen has many thoughts expressed through tonality.

This man stopped to ask about my building landlord as he seeks a home. Of course I would have to photograph him before divulging this data. I’m happy, he’s happy and I bet he’s still blessing me and talking. Humanity adds the color to life even when composted in Sepia toned B+W.       

 

 

peace.
