For the few years I have been traveling Rt. 87 on the way to Vt. and lately to Manchester Ct. to visit an old friend during the last 9 months my ride to Manchester has taken longer as I stop and ponder the Lebanon Green.  It was on one of these journeys to Brattleboro that the verbal image “Between Here and There” began. Now it is a nearly complete poem reflecting a life time of changes,  a tree with many branches all with tales to tell. Many past thoughts reviewed in the present from childhood on a bike to the present in an old Honda. The town Green this one in Lebanon has taken me back and forward in time. Once where the farmers grazed their cows to a walk around the green that is rarely empty. “Between Here and There” were fireworks, chicken barbecues, concerts and ice skating. “Community” so I stop and smell the roses, the seasons of life I’ll share images from Lebanon for the next week or so and Friday my show “Between Here and There” opens and perhaps I’ll read my verbal image.                                                                    enjoy pjc

The Thimble Islands sun setting providing a hint of winter. So I don’t shoot a lot of landscapes but these two distracted me in my travels. If you click on photos there are old thoughts on distraction. Same old thoughts but having thoughts beats the hell out of regurgitating Foxisum News or Wall Street Provda. After all the recessions over, and Senator “anything for a buck” Joe is still employed so screw the 7000 people losing benefits a day. But I digress as I listen to King Cake sing Pork Rinds. Something about pork always make me think of our corrupted awfiscials.  Oink oink.                                                                     enjoy pjc

Winter of 73 and the rectangle was beginning to take shape in my mind. Themes that still occupy my creative exploits were emerging. Simplicity, is perhaps the hardest concept to grasp. Now 34 years later I still seek it in my images. I work front end composition. Un cropped [this is] everything in the image I put there. Positioning the subject in the negative space so your attention is drawn there, by triangles in the foreground road I am standing on leading to the road the truck is on and the ultra white field on the backside all point to the logging truck. Small business a current theme is represented here also. The only difference is that side road I am standing on waiting for the truck to chug into it’s moment is probably 10 to 20 below zero and you would be hard pressed to find me standing in that cold. LOL! But hey you never know. enjoy pjc
