Late Fall around the block

December 10, 2020 By Peter J. Crowley 4 Comments

November and December the walks shorter and less frequent raindrops and lack of light. The same blocks seeking and finding something new.

Each day, each stroll I study this new to me digital world. I have had a Nikon Diggie since 2009 but never really embraced it till March when Jeff  a friend in Maine bought me a D-200 a more professional machine then my first. I have now moved to a D-7000 merely ten years behind the latest. Ha Ha. Here I come 21st century. I still don’t use auto exp. Auto Focus my eyes are not so good I have learned to tell it where to focus. I guess I use AF manually. lol

December 5th, 2020

November 11th, 2020 another fence I have been shooting for the last year. I have four seasons but I lack morning light. This time of year around 8:45 am when the variables align I will go back. The variables being 50 degrees, Sun, low pain level. It could be a while.

December 5th, 2020 a good productive day it seems. An one half hour stroll. 

Questions, comments appreciated just a tad bored these day. Look around the galleries here plenty of images from 1971- 2020.

peace

Elma Washington a Summer Afternoon

June 28, 2020 By Peter J. Crowley 2 Comments

A trip to another Mill town. Walking new streets I have seen before.

This one being a Lumber Mill. Two towns actually Elma and McCleary. This on the road out of Elma but I found more compelling images in Elma. 

Reflections of days gone by suit my seeing.  Stories seen in the layers of downtown. In both towns tales of boom and bust told by residential homes sections that were built at the boom time all very similar. Then another group built 10-20 years later. 

Downtown repurposed store fronts some with false fronts like a western movie. But here it is life past and present. Thrift shops pot shops and wood pellets. Friendly people 90% wore masks and greeted us as we strolled through town. 

Eloquent detailed mosaic speaks of better times. 

Peace can be found among the Goldenrod’s, the sun and the breeze. Breathing well Nikon in hand strolling. Seeing  a blend of  memories, emotion a moment happens when I depress the shutter. The moment, the emotion is complete to share with you. 

The Bank of Elma sits waiting for the next boom, restoration life. Many moments this day present, past,  joyous, sad woven into humanity.

Seek the highlight as I do but also see the shadows without which there would be no highlight. 

peace
