Portraits without People

06.08.2017 by Peter J. Crowley // 3 Comments

Walker Evans work on the FSA project had many images of sharecroppers homes. Interiors, portraits of the people without the person. The photos created a strong emotional bond to the culture and life of the persons home and self.  I have always been inspired by Walker having met him in the 70’s. I try and create images that speak of the person what they value and save. Who they are.

The Still Image a Threat to the “I” World Marketers

05.06.2017 by Peter J. Crowley // 1 Comment

Speed to distraction for lingering may allow for thought. All your devices that save you time convenient. What do you do with this time? Do you own your cat or does it own you? Do you use your phone or does it use you? Time to feed the cat, to get more apps. to spend time learning to use apps to save you time. The time you spend looking at anything gets shorter and shorter. Add motion to the mix and now to see great art it is animated Picasso paintings. Why to prevent you from pondering seeing beyond the surface. What is it that floats the boat on social media and life? So many platforms to not speak clearly on, be brief, say little or nothing and use a provided cave drawing. On a BBC feature about motion, marketing and greed a trend to fast and brief was studied the findings were shorten the attention span of the people online. Allow only time to spend on an imaginary future on your phone at 10 second or less intervals, longer would allow for memories, emotions, creative thought. Resulting in lower profits. Below a comment on this image says everything without an Emojy. Andrea can still see.

“I have spent so many times with good friends in taverns with tables and chairs similar to the one in your wonderful shot. Remaking the world, remaking the arts, remaking emotions.”
