Transparencies

Slides as they are called in the consumer world of photography. Dead as they have been sentenced by the prosumer imaging world.

Resolution, sharpness, information, quality transparencies have it all so why is Kodachrome being discontinued? Because it is guilty of lasting, guilty of quality, guilty of non convenience and mostly guilty of inspiring thought as the photographer  exposes this film. No machine gun shoot 100 images and spend 3 hours in post production to find the idea you didn’t have. The creation is made by the artist, not the program. It is great not goodnuff, and goodnuff rules. This image made on Provia a very good Fuji Transparency film. I’m saving the final 20 rolls of Kodachrome for a final project to be shot over the next few months before the only lab to process Kodachrome closes. Want to be a subject for the final series? Email me.                                               enjoy pjc

Distractions Reprise Feb.7th 2009

The 18 mega byte distraction
A tidal wave of minutia
Consumes me drags me
Into the undertow of vanilla
Humanity is a misspelled sound bite
Posted on your very own social network
Reality is upgraded daily
Peter has an Obsolete Digital EOS
Five years old or more
Peter has five Nikon’s
The newest thirty-two Y.O.
I’ve got me grain, I’ve got me pixels
Soon 50-100 more mega bytes

1973 Woodbury Ct. Thoughts on Nature and Man

02.09.2008 by Peter J. Crowley // 4 Comments


A warm March day strolling through woods off rt 63 in Woodbury Ct. I came across this stump or Skyline? The stump was instantly a city skyline. As I composed this image I thought of how much nature will be plundered to build canyons of greed. How far would man go to pretend we could control nature, that we were not part of nature but lords to rule over nature? In the 70s thinking was still legal. Memory is a funny thing this image made 34 years ago was made on my first Nikon F, a 1971 with a 105 mm Nikon F 2.5 lens, exposed at F4 or 5.6 on KodaChrome. I spent 10 to 15 minutes composing and dealing with the strong back light using the lens flare to create an artificial sun. This morning I got up to find the bottle of salad dressing in the sink instead of the fridge. Memory the air was crisp clean and it was in the middle 50s that day in March 1973, this morning I am back there briefly residing in another time. enjoy pjc
