New image from Layered Life series.
Art on the streets, in the windows, in my mind. Beginning to settle into my new virtual life here on the left coast. Cold with snow the night before last just a dusting. It isn’t New England but still I hate the cold and damp. When is spring and warm rain? The locals have a saying “What is two days of rain? A weekend! enjoy pjc

When you have finished manipulation? Do you ever finish manipulation when is the piece finished? When is it Art?
Manipulation isn’t new this image is a study of a pregnant women. Shot on 35mm film at ISO 1600 to gain more grain and texture. It was then printed onto a sheet of 4×5 film giving me a positive image, then contact printed on to a 4×5 sheet of litho film [high contrast film used in the printing industry]this film sees just Black and White and adds more texture and grain. Many steps that I decided on while shooting the original negative in very contrasty studio light. When did it become Photographic Art?
What are your thoughts? When Does an image become Art? peace pjc
Alone moments sometimes with deep thought yet other times blank totally consumed by Mother Nature. Often these times involve a river, or the embers of a good fire. When you are you whether 7 or 70 I wait for the next moment of natures energy to engulf my mind. peace pjc
