Below the Falls Mansfield Hollow B+W Film

12.18.2012 by Peter J. Crowley // 1 Comment

Nikon F-1971 1999 at Mansfield Hollow Dam. Jump forward a couple years and I brought this image in to the class I was teaching at New London Adult Ed. It was one of the images I used to lead the discussion on contrast. Everyone wanted to know how I did it? How long did it take? Few asked about post process but it was 2001 so my class was filled mostly with film people. My answer was 1/125 second, most chuckled and said really? I explained that I knew where the light was time of day and went there found my spot and shot 1 or 2 images this one printed easily in the darkroom probably took less time than scanning and adjusting the scan to meet the quality of the print. My PS Elements 10 wanted a color profile for everything is color and many of the functions in post process don’t work in gray scale [B+W]. Black and White prints are not about color they are an emotional visual poetry. No artificial emotion in my PS. and no edge like film. enjoy pjc

Texture, Simple Real or Abstract…

12.05.2012 by Peter J. Crowley // Leave a Comment

Surface texture, design, art, or is it just a metaphor of life? Soft warm and smooth the baby is born little surface texture. The shell hardly formed. The old stones in the canyons or by the sea starting rough and sharp slowly reach towards soft and smooth. What is the direction of reaching the soft smooth texture? Living creatures or stone, wood, all achieve soft and smooth. The social world builds shells of texture and fear upon the living. But the rock by the sea or in a canyon adapts slowly to mother natures wind and waves to proceed with the harmony of soft and smooth. Broken the rock returns to sharp and rough. While the human grows hard and rough with age finally softening with age. Dismiss the “I” in this soft rant and consider the life of a stone and a baby as equals. At some point in their lives they are soft and smooth equals in a less than equal time.
