Triangles, Doors with Shadows

Feb. 25th walk to Tumwater Falls an incomplete walk. Kirsten and Tancern came and picked me up, good for I was out of gas and low Blood Sugar. New insulin a 2 + mile walk, bad timing need to carry food? I have to fix this walking is creativity for me, mobility. Motion and emotion my themes and the answer to the contest that was to difficult to enter. I have come to a grips with no car not easy my ct circle had dwindled to a 50 mile radius providing many different departures for my strolls.

So motion was today’s ramble short movements no more than 10ft inside strolls as it is what I now think of as a poor winter day 49 lt rain breeze oh how quickly N. E. Winters fade. But the inner strolls through images life a long pleasant walk today. Detours abound what is that road over there in 1981 where does it go? Today I looked for an older image to compliment this or just looking for visual and verbal images to spark conversation. It is three hours later and apt wanderings and time travels are paused an old blog updated link Photographic Art below. Hope all these rambling bring you a smile.

Spring 1982 a stroll through The Fashionable East Side I found these two generations enjoying the warm afternoon. In Prov., Coventry, Willimantic, and Norwich I walked everywhere not having a car for 20 years till 2005 a five six mile day was nothing 2-3 the normal. In Willi I lived again on the top of the Fashionable Hill section. Although when I told my friends I was moving to Bellevue many said about time or at last. The number of times I had to climb the hill daily became directly proportionate to the number of cold beers and arrival time at Willimantic Brewing Co. On days where my travels brought me up and down the hill a few times before noon, well the lunch started around two and if it was a day with a “Y” in it no work after lunch. enjoy pjc

Norwich Ct. Angles Triangles Simplicity of Creating

02.20.2012 by Peter J. Crowley // 1 Comment

Still here in the past this from 2001 an image I sometimes love and sometimes feel it is a near miss. Image made on film scanned from print with a little burning and dodging to fit this medium for viewing. Prints of course are the best way of viewing. My images are simple, not simplistic. Simplicity is the hardest concept to grasp. In this latest and greatest new and improved world. Perhaps the shot is too busy? Perhaps mundane? Well my B+W is all shot on film composed in the viewfinder printed without cropping. I am repeating myself sorry. A story partially told you can ponder and add the rest of the story. See Andrea’s comment. While drinking coffee late this morning I was on another site where the photographer had loaded a roll of film yesterday and last night dreamed he had blown the whole roll. “Waking” in the dream he tried to look at the histogram but film has not histogram nor preview window on the back. Awake and posting on Google+ he was considering the idea of throwing out the film and putting away the film camera and throwing out the film without exposing. I guess he could not work without crutches anymore. Perhaps he was kidding? But I know all too many photographers who seek an instant destination rather than a journey. So what do you think? Is my image to busy? Does it lead you to memories? enjoy pjc

The Final Frontier and a question

City Hall the final frontier

So does anyone stop here? I have no idea. The only way to tell is to see my profile views and unless you look at “my complete profile” that counter doesn’t advance. You could of course comment some of the regulars I know you see what I do here for you email or comment. But are there others? Shall I go on? I had hoped this would become a forum for creative though and images, words similar to my former column on Nikonians.
You can comment on this image or previous posts and if you want to join in with images contact me and that can be arranged. All for now, perhaps another post later with a copy of one of my columns?
