Faces Through the Decades

07.07.2017 by Peter J. Crowley // 4 Comments

Faces, eyes sometimes life long friends often just a chance meeting a waitress. A DJ, a hat or just those EYES.

Bidwell Tavern Coventry Ct. Halloween 1988

Providence 1981 Wolfman Jack at the Blue Point Oyster Bar.

Eyes.

Loved the hat and the window light she waiting me walking by a statement made.

A Moment, an Hour Without Time or Place

05.23.2017 by Peter J. Crowley // 1 Comment

A Pill and  cool coffee as I recline on my bed. Miles music plays to silence and the body disappears………………………just the mind in a place where there is no time,             no before or after.      A meditative trance like state no broken body just the mind wandering through………………….

I pull out of the Crosbie lot on North St. waiting as two cars hurry to the red light a formidable black women cuts to the side line as her skinny white friend prepares a crack back block ………

she leans over my shoulder laughing whispers of the sweet song of youth…….

the moment passes reality returns and I am late to the dance.

peace pjc

A Model Review of Session Twenty Seven Years Later

05.12.2017 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.
