The Lights are on but No One is Home Yet, Light of the Sun

by // 2 Comments

Late day and the parking lights are on as the Norwichtown Mall restoration continues.

Strong late afternoon sun create this apparently warm light yesterday afternoon. I have a problem or a dilemma with posting this tree you see what I saw was a B+W photo with a red filter to create a high contrast image. But the B+W I shoot is film so I am drawn to wanting this the way I saw the original image. I could but won’t convert it in PS. No matter what I do in PS the image never has the edge of a B+W neg/print. Maybe it is me but there is a whole different emotion produced by film the tactile feel of it the lingering study of the subject. The feeling of a book as opposed to a kindle. To me digital is a destination without a journey and the road of life is a journey of places in the soul, places that move you. A visual poem part of the journey, part of the story as you look at images of my journey you add your life’s story to fit my image in your response becoming part of my journey. enjoy pjc

Earlier effort at conversion, I thought sometime recently I posted a side by side of color and desaturated to B+W but can’t find it now.

Low key image in a low key land.

What brings visitors to an art site? 1. Nudity [on the edge of art is better] 2. New Content it used to called information. But information implies knowledge usefulness. Where content a simple bombarding of useless details but there everyday. If your content is new racy swimsuits worn by stars trying to be left alone all the better, even better is knowing who made the swimsuit. 3. Gore or implied gore, this includes auto accidents, police dashboard camera. 4 Of course are the bizarre, what would we all be without People of [well you know I’m not saying their name] Hate Groups, love groups belong to both to hedge your bet. Petitions, games, causes and all the other info grabbers on line. You can fill in the rest but let me leave you this warning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No Sarcasm it doesn’t work in Print.
