Frost for 2016

01.01.2016 by Peter J. Crowley // 1 Comment

9:45 am shot sharpened a lot add contrast walked out and knew the effect I wanted wish the [Sh] kit lens was more optically sharp, a consumer goodnuff lens from Nikon U$A. Also made a neg on Rollie RPX 400 with Red 25 filter with a Glass Nikon lens a real lens not needing artificial intelligence to pretend to be sharp. RPX is a red sensitive film results similar to IR film. Image to come later when I get a film scanner. 2016 more film more B+W not a resolution per say just coming home.

Cold, Cold, Cold outside but inside the heart is warm. Happy New Year.

Olympia Faces, Thoughts a Bit of a Rant S.O.S.

Another cool wet morning,

I miss the morning light, golden sharp angles a drive/walk to coffee seeking the highlight in conversation, life. I thought Oly would not offer this light often. The drought and warmth has provided the light I love. I see it through my window, beyond my reach. Meds pain fractured routine the light escapes me.

June 30th Olympia Hot Dog Co. on 4th Ave I hear it is great but my body says no!

Christmas shopping at Archibald and Sisters this dapper man said I couldn’t get an image with his eyes open. Took a few but the first shot was the one.

Pride Fest June 21 Phoenix Heather Fierz poses with parasol on a hot fun afternoon.

A muse, from first session July 17th a quiet moment, a dream, imagined memory.

Wild Bill sings a Dylan song for me and a lady outside Safeway.

Hundreds of new images in Galleries of re-designed site on July 1st. One comment hundreds more to show but why bother? Sharing, giving away the new world of “Photographers” I give prints away on occasion but everything from every shoot. Like on FB support a multi billion $Corp. and then you don’t have to overwork your click finger. Worried about having to leave an email address ya I’m gonna sell your address LOL like social nitwit sites aren’t. simple solution have a junk email address so you won’t receive unwanted ads. I don’t send them but you could then use addy on other sites. Simple and you can see more information on other sites. I have ranted about this before and have also said my Art is about communication but without response why bother talking.

Photographic Art An artist who’s medium is Photography that’s me.

Doors Held Open by Friends

Hold a door for me

A Life in Photographic Art my second book details here

Morning in Olympia, no really daybreak I rarely see this maybe it is still time zones, bad sleep, pain? But today the sun has come up dancing through my window. Old roads in Willi I always saw the Sun Rise. Norwich the first 10 years up and out early for I only had North windows but the Coffee was hot and the company was invigorating creative from Kyrena’s to Merrihews both opened at 8 but the door was open to me when I arrived between 7 and 7:30 warm Portuguese rolls at Merrihews and by the second third cup of joe Kyrena was bringing me a small plate of the lunch special. Try this Peter yum it was always perfect. Does it need a little more … Maybe a touch. The Reverend Jim at Kyrena’s and Shannon, Jim played a starring roll throughout my travels and the changing Coffee shops forward to City Perk and Kokopeleis. Latitudes on weekends at first and Joanne enters along Michelle who I had photographed through the window of Kyrena’s with Berta and The Scribe serving coffee. Kokopeli’s my Grumpy cup from Amanda was always full. The Muse was blooming.

Jeff and Jennifer Bishop holding doors open for me even thought I was dead during the 2011 troubles. Jeff helping me into the digital age while keeping my focus solid in film. Jennifer a calm voice to answer insulin questions and be there laughing about growing up together before we met. Two reasons to love the internet. Rees from Flagstaff another pixel friend who has become a real life confident creative and highly into B+W

I sit and write remembering a yellow poster with a wooden stool on it my daughter had in her room when she was “3ie” “Sometimes I sit and think, sometimes I just sit.” The Muse will be here soon and my mind will be taken to wonderful realms of creativity. Many more friends have held doors for me Marko sending me music when I need now listening to Punk Rock Jukebox from 2011 dedicated to me while I was hospitalized. peace pjc
