A Life in Photographic Art my second book.

Another Door Entered available now.

Downtown street portraits. All the folks in images I conversed with the genre of street photography is often done with a long lens from a distance stolen souls. I would rather meet my subjects.

Communication in a word or at least a contraction.

The Text Message

Keep that damn sun of my screen. Wa. State Fair. Colors, sound, games, food, PEOPLE. Texting, talking at not talking to. So many ways to communicate so little said, over and over. Had a dial phone as a kid till the early 2001 worked great talked socialized communicated thoughts emotion values. Mid 90’s the WWW and emails often thought out researched avenue for creative thought. Forums people of a like mind discussing ideas, emotions, Art. I used to communicate by email lots. A month or so ago a friend emailed me some news from back in Willi with a comment that she thought she might have to join FB to reach me. But my email still works my messages always longer than the response. Social nitwitting where shallow is taken to a new level. “The Like Button” where you can comment without a thought. How convenient.  Today I read that the “Like Button” is being upgraded now you can ad a pixel-ed  emotion to your Like how very sweet.  P.M.ing with an artist friend yesterday 5 interchanges friends replies total 25 characters including the exclamation point. I’m old but I still hope that communicating is more involved then to just figure out how few letters it takes to say nothing.  I think the image says how I feel about texting. At this point please click the like button at the top of the page.                  enjoy pjc
