Now for Something Different

Processed film today, Garden images were digital. The moment when you first look at the negatives is magic! Film is me, I am film. I enjoy the process the thought that goes before pushing the shutter. This is the journey I have traveled for nearly 40 years. This is the moment where it all comes together when I am speaking with my visual voice. Could be in the studio or on a stroll but mostly I know what I want to say and seek to express passion, my observations of life. Be it real or surreal.  enjoy pjc

Norwich History 10 or 100 Years Triptych

A Life in Photographic Art My second book

September Eighth 2002

Since arriving in Norwich I have been documenting the Cities attempt to revitalize in a very harsh economy. The Wauregan’s restoration is a focal point in downtown. The back wall has been a subject of mine for most of the nine years. First a shot from my “Layered Life Series” that abstractly presents 100 or more years of history, [difficult to see the nuances of downtown Trolleys in reflection at 72 pixels see comment here]  to the second image from the restoration and the third image of  the old Painted logo/Hotel name.

The third image brings me full circle as it speaks of the influence of Walker Evans on my images. The painted wall art of the 30’s Walker’s images were portraits of a nation, of the people but often without a person. These three images briefly tell a story of Norwich history through my lens/eyes, changing facades. A sketch of the past an outline to the future.

Spend a few minutes seeing through my eyes follow the links poetry and philosophy of a pondering artist obviously not a 140 character man. Rich, poor by who’s standards? Smell the Roses.
