Olympia Faces, Thoughts a Bit of a Rant S.O.S.

09.03.2015 by Peter J. Crowley // 5 Comments

Another cool wet morning,

I miss the morning light, golden sharp angles a drive/walk to coffee seeking the highlight in conversation, life. I thought Oly would not offer this light often. The drought and warmth has provided the light I love. I see it through my window, beyond my reach. Meds pain fractured routine the light escapes me.

Hundreds of new images in Galleries of re-designed site on July 1st. One comment hundreds more to show but why bother? Sharing, giving away the new world of “Photographers” I give prints away on occasion but everything from every shoot. Like on FB support a multi billion $Corp. and then you don’t have to overwork your click finger. Worried about having to leave an email address ya I’m gonna sell your address LOL like social nitwit sites aren’t. simple solution have a junk email address so you won’t receive unwanted ads. I don’t send them but you could then use addy on other sites.  Simple and you can see more information on other sites. I have ranted about this before and have also said my Art is about communication but without response why bother talking. 

Photographic Art  An artist who’s medium is Photography that’s me.

Vintage clothes store closing on a sunny day, that’s right sunny in January.

Back downtown the next day we chatted with this really fun Character as we shared space under an awning wondering if the pouring rain would let up. It did and we went off to lunch. Our day a little brighter because of our new amusing friend.

Winter to spring, What is most valuble?

02.24.2009 by Peter J. Crowley // 27 Comments


Winter is reality and summer just a mannequin.


As the temperatures rise [we can only hope] and the dollar falls I ponder what is it that is of value? Friends of course lead my list. But beyond friends as an Artist I look at what other people put value on? Of course there are your tools and materials. But what else is there “Time!” How do others value the time of an Artist? I ponder how an Artist is defined in this new global world? Certainly not as a profession for a profession is defined by “Billable Hours.” Is it technique? Tools? Mega Pixels? Something you do on the side to give back to the community? Or perhaps Community Service after you have stolen the future of the elderly, the poor and the children of the world.
What is the value of time? What defines an artist? Just a couple of light hearted musings on a cold February morning. enjoy pjc
