Wickham Park on a Hot Muggy Morning Shade was at a Premium

Eleven am or so the morning fog lifted and the temperature jumped from low eighties to low nineties in the blink of a shutter. The weather didn’t dampen the spirits of those gathered for the wedding . I can’t say the same for the shirts LOL but after a short beautiful ceremony everyone retreated to air conditioning  and cool drinks. On the way out I shot this back lit tree cool, comfortable in the shade of the leaves warm,  sunny at the top. The tree was happy and so were the Wedding couple and their guests.                                                       enjoy pjc

Spring at The Salem Herb Farm

by // Leave a Comment


In one of the green houses “Cool Veggies Loving” Wanting a home in your garden.


The Color of Spring amidst sprinkles and sun I wandered. The smell of spring permeating the air and the inner senses of renewal, the circle of life.

A collage of color and life at “The Salem Herb Farm” a place I visit as often as I can it renews me with color plants, a great variety of chickens some sporting Mohawk hair dos. Goats, an Emu with magic and peace filling the spring air I highly recommend a visit for you seedlings, flowers and soul. These plants are grown locally with love, not trucked in to the big box. Buy Local support your community.                                                                                                                                                          enjoy pjc

Whidbey Island Wa. Coupeville Harbor

Summer of 2001 I taught Photo Philosophy on Whidbey Island. I joked that I would be teaching manual photography under the shadow of “Windows.” There were eight students all using film. Most I convinced to use manual one shot at a time. To see and think and see again as the camera sees. Learning to see and understand simplicity. I now own a digital camera [for quick color never decaffeinate] but use it on manual all the time yet it still makes adjustments I don’t want. I strive to make all the decisions, meter, compose in view finder almost never crop [this image is slightly cropped due to it being printed on post card paper] there is always an exception. One image at a time belongs to you. One hundred images blasted off in in a minute on auto everything belong to the camera. The decisive moment! My moment. My thoughts repeated, lived and not changing soon. LOL  My web designers spent a few hours last Wednesday figuring out some update problems on this word press site. As I post this morning I notice there are two more updates to add. Well I’ve rambled my thoughts on Photographic Art long enough. Look at the image, like it or not tell your friends.     enjoy pjc not updated in 25 years!
