Places, homes from early in my work 1972-73, 1980’S

03.04.2020 by Peter J. Crowley // 2 Comments

A tidal pool crossing Cosey Beach  Ave  1972. A daily treat to walk the beach with a friend. For a six month or so period I would step out the back door and soon be greeted by a Golden Retriever she was there for a walk. I never found out who she belonged to and she never asked to come in the house. 

Squeeze  loading in for a 80’s summer concert on Madison Green.  Madison Ct. Summers, The Wharf at The Madison Beach Hotel. Arriving there to meet Jim in early May Dewey the bartender announces Peter is here the summer has begun. 

A Radio Flyer to transfer winter warmth to the house.

Cosey Beach wasn’t glitzy the waterfront cottages were nicer. The neighborhood was poor. Strife between the city and the neighborhood after the city sold the playground to a restaurant. I found this all out the 2nd night I lived there. The 4th of July Independence Day  and the streets were full of people expressing there anger in no uncertain terms. 

Stony Creek and Kodachrome a short ride made often for peace, wandering, seeing. I would return here through out my years in Ct. I rarely returned to Cosey Beach Ave. It became a destination as I rushed to get myself ready to move west.  So many places, people to see that Brattleboro and Cosey beach were left out.

October 16th an Afternoon Stroll

10.25.2015 by Peter J. Crowley // 7 Comments

The days start slow coffee, meds eat, wait for meds to work play online. Second, third gear lunch. Out to the world the light is right it always is, State Street meander to Percival landing.

DSC_0045 S45 B-2 Shd Lgt20 HiLtDrk-20 10-16-15 Percival Landing often a destination to read, write but today the sun that shone when I left for the bus was replaced by a cool breeze and a hazy shade of winter. The table and chairs where I would sit and write have been moved indoor for the season. Winter is closing in, but the light was right it always is. The water the boats abstract reflections.

DSC_0039 S50 B-2 Cnst+60 Brt Shad Lgt Hi30 10-16-15I wonder is everything just a reflection? Light and shade create  reality the reflection different each time you look painted with a wider brush.  Summer dances on the ripples of Autumns chilly breath.

DSC_0040 RAW S40 B+2 G-2 R+2 Cnst+60 10-16-15Trying to catch a reflection of a gull cavorting above, not easy. Twenty minutes no gull. I walk on viewing the public art and shooting some skateboarders. A Molasses cookie at Traditions and back to the bus ninety minutes after getting off the bus I am heading home a good productive walk.  The light was right it always is………………………..

Flight, Freedom a moment lasting forever.

Freedom

The gulls of Galilee float through the sky between meals shared by the fishing fleet. Man races by in a jet an Orvile and Wilbur Wright dream of freedom lost to schedules and commerce no time to float, no time to dream just a destination not a journey. Art is a journey not a destination, float with me for a moment smell the sea, the roses, life.
