Whidbey Island Wa. Coupeville Harbor

03.26.2012 by Peter J. Crowley // 2 Comments


Summer of 2001 I taught Photo Philosophy on Whidbey Island. I joked that I would be teaching manual photography under the shadow of “Windows.” There were eight students all using film. Most I convinced to use manual one shot at a time. To see and think and see again as the camera sees. Learning to see and understand simplicity. I now own a digital camera [for quick color never decaffeinate] but use it on manual all the time yet it still makes adjustments I don’t want. I strive to make all the decisions, meter, compose in view finder almost never crop [this image is slightly cropped due to it being printed on post card paper] there is always an exception. One image at a time belongs to you. One hundred images blasted off in in a minute on auto everything belong to the camera. The decisive moment! My moment. My thoughts repeated, lived and not changing soon. LOL  My web designers spent a few hours last Wednesday figuring out some update problems on this word press site. As I post this morning I notice there are two more updates to add. Well I’ve rambled my thoughts on Photographic Art long enough. Look at the image, like it or not tell your friends.     enjoy pjc not updated in 25 years!

From 2008 classic figure study. The form flows through the negative space creating the emotion. The figure image is simplicity and grace. “What comes next?” as I traverse through years of negatives that will soon become prints is it all I have to say? Is my visual voice hoarse, tired with little new to say.  You will see many of the same themes here new images old negs, old thoughts repeated.                     enjoy pjc
