Coming and Going, Rarely at Rest

12.28.2015 by Peter J. Crowley // 1 Comment

In transit.

On foot, a bike, a bus everyone is rushing along. Metaphorically we race along in our head on the smart phone, computer we travel. I have been called a motion/emotion photographer so I observe the motion creating a downtown tableau. I wonder where is everyone going on the streets and in their minds? Perhaps I wonder and ponder too much? I’ll give it some thought and write more later.

That’s Silly, That’s Cool

She sees something I should see she says “That’s Silly.” I in-turn see something she should see I say  “That’s Cool.” So I ask her when she says that sometimes it is silly, but sometimes it is cool what you want me to see?  She looks and ponders, the car goes alongDSC_0148S15 B-2 Lgt ShirtChair 50 Cnst-50 Lgt30 LgtChair 20 Cnst_20 10-3-15we pass something she likes wants me to see, “That’s Cool” I agree it was cool colorful, creative, unusual which is what I mean by cool. Later we pass something else from the back she hoots “That’s silly!” It was and grandpa smiles.

Next month 4Y.O. time races by faster than a speeding 3 YO and that’s fast. Here are a few moments from recently for me but long ago for her. There is little time to linger as there is something new, something always comes next.

DSC_0026 72 Fist Hair Cut at Salon 11-24-15The first real haircut with Jason at Jamie Lee and Company.   She sat very still and the bangs are not in here eyes. We played with the kitties, looked at the art and laughed while mom had her hair cut.

DSC_0074 Ss15 G-30 R-20 Thats silly 11-24-15Boo Bash at The Hands On Children’s Museum where she was a Penguin. We sat for a picture in a giant chair now that’s silly. 

There were snakes and lizards to pet and a real Herpetologist to meet.

Something always comes next, Grandpa grandpa she squeals above the din of 300 + kids racing from event to event so much to see and do. To touch she wants to touch everything it is a way of understanding the world around tactile communication. The movies she watches, the books she reads Mostly Nat Geo or Nova. Science videos, documentaries it is plain that people are a boring animal.  Ahwooo she howls I am Trancern the king of the wolves.
