Portraits without People

06.08.2017 by Peter J. Crowley // 3 Comments

Walker Evans work on the FSA project had many images of sharecroppers homes. Interiors, portraits of the people without the person. The photos created a strong emotional bond to the culture and life of the persons home and self.  I have always been inspired by Walker having met him in the 70’s. I try and create images that speak of the person what they value and save. Who they are.

Layers

Life

  A Pixel becomes a person.

It is just ………………….Simplicity

It is just light

It is just thought

It is just color and negative space

It is just emotion.

It is just me.

A Life in Photographic Art                              “Another Door Entered” 

Photographic Art My Mantra from Brian Berry at Paier College of Art 1971 “Every image you make is a self portrait” working this way allows/compels me to be more intimately involved with my creation.

A Moment, an Hour Without Time or Place

05.23.2017 by Peter J. Crowley // 1 Comment

A Pill and  cool coffee as I recline on my bed. Miles music plays to silence and the body disappears………………………just the mind in a place where there is no time,             no before or after.      A meditative trance like state no broken body just the mind wandering through………………….

I pull out of the Crosbie lot on North St. waiting as two cars hurry to the red light a formidable black women cuts to the side line as her skinny white friend prepares a crack back block ………

she leans over my shoulder laughing whispers of the sweet song of youth…….

the moment passes reality returns and I am late to the dance.

peace pjc
