(-23-13 6pm the porch-002

Porch sitting as the sun set. Past I thought I’d end up in an old farm but the road between Here and There has had many turns some sharp each making There closer than Here. I’ve past this porch 2-4 times a week for over a year as I go to visit a sick friend. As I told the owners I have been stocking your porch lol. In truth I have watching times of day light and falling leaves seasons. Sunday I went by and knew the next day at 6pm would be perfect. Arriving at 5:45 I had time to park and walk to the front this is the second image, perfect timing. Ya that’s how I work I could have exposed it at any other time and Post Processed it, but that isn’t me! Nail the exposure and you have the image and emotion you wanted sure I dodged a bit in ceiling shadow. The Golden Hour…………………………. peace pjc

While in Willi I had a porch where Laurel and I would watch the early golden hour with coffee so peaceful.

Portland Or Train Station 93-98-21_edited-1

Telling stories, creating emotions. The little boy looks across the waiting room to a grandmotherly women in line. She doesn’t know him the emotion I create here is of fear and being lost from the point of view of the boy. That is the story the emotion we have all felt at one time or another. enjoy pjc

The real story is the boy isn’t lost at all by stepping to the right I did not include his parents who were five feet to the right as their son took in the view of this magnificent old station and by composing [not cropping] the image to tell my tale, to create an emotion for you to add you story to the image.

Barn When I Was A Young Photographic Artist

June Sixth Preston Farm_edited-4

I grew up and lived in Coventry, Mansfield, Willington Ct. I never shot barns seeing them as touristy and functional. I look back now at the old barns and wish I had seen these barns as documents to a changing world. Now I see the texture and feel the history hear the words these old “Family Farms” speak of, lives well lived hard work yet a work of love for the family. Terry “Davo” Davis a well known New London artist who years back did a series of drawings of Historical Barns saw one of the other barns on my site. So I am getting maps from Ct. Historical barns and one day soon we will be out to seek many of the barns and do a twenty year update. enjoy pjc
