Pace the Only Constant is Change

04.05.2020 by Peter J. Crowley // Leave a Comment

 

Pace

Pace ever changing

Often fickle

Party line

Text message

in between

Change is the only constant

Parameters arrive

On Schedule

Age the main overlay

The times change

Silver Gelatin, pixels

Process, on demand

Name, Brand

At seventy

A pace Parfait

The settings

Music periods

Images made in that Period,

Even a herring bone jacket

Relaxed in a past life

Moving still determined

Often distracted

Still seeking

The next image

The future

My History, My Face

02.10.2020 by Peter J. Crowley // 13 Comments

Mar Lea appts. Ashford CT. First place I lived after the marriage split. A dark time Kirsten visits rarely from daily adventures, out to lunch. Gardening, walking with her ducks to Fritz’s. New things found and once  in a while lousy pancakes.  Now just a day and a half twice a month if I was lucky.

Madison Ct. at Jim and Carla’s visiting for the weekend of the Durham fair. A Molson Golden Ale, a Lunar Pro and a Nikon F. tools of the trade. 

Olympia 2016 Molly’s photo of me and my journal. 

Cosey Beach E. Haven Ct. 1972? We lived on the water or at times in the water. Perched on a little knoll around 17 inches above sea level. But winter storms combined with a full moon the water got very close. Hurricanes flooded the street on the non sound side. Yikes motor boats evacuations we watched, friends would come to see for power of nature eating brownies watching waves crashing over two story cottages party on….WOW!

My Intern Molly Walsh did a series of me in May 2017. A Punk Rock Juke Box tee a Conn College dance print. Editing, archiving a process that continues slowly. A braided beard, art direction and photo by Inara. 


January 2020 a Zoo York tee from Kirsten one of three keeping me warm. Liz my care giver has learned to use my camera like Inara they do well with this odd subject. 

An outtake from my Press Pass photo at the Stratford News 1973. The free press news feature weekly, The Shakespeare  Theater, day to day life community news.  A hippie photo journalist accepted by the community.

This from 1972 previous from ’73 a year and a half later after a trim. “Your hair is getting good in the back” Frank Zappa. This pass still resides in my wallet. From the 70’s to the mid 2014 in Ct. a ticket to almost everything.

The Day, My Day, Any Day, Most Days

12.18.2019 by Peter J. Crowley // Leave a Comment

A Winter Days Routine 

Schedules have become very important. Diabetes, insulin where meals became a medical procedure. A new med replacing Insulin has freed me from having to eat instead of seeing, being with the late light.

Up at 7:30 or 9:30 mostly out here it is pretty dark at that time. Coffee, rate how I feel how it will effect my day. Messages read a sarcastic comment or two. Breakfast on good day 8:45 after second cup. There is no morning light in the winter. Daily plan 4 days Liz  here marketing tasks I can’t do well. Inara after school once that is always a great day. At the market everyone knows my name like the Sundown years past. On a rare occasion when it is both warm and dry a bit of gardening on my beds and tiny prairie wild flowers to plant.  Wednesday home alone a truffle with first coffee if the body and sky says in today. A breathing treatment with nebulizer. Dishes done creativity a plan for lunch, at months end [20th-] it becomes a math problem what’s here what I still have cash for lol. Elza’s kitchen always serves a heaping helping of humanity.

Then there are distractions music a rare splash of light  of seeing if only out the windows or in my abode. 

March 15, 2015 6:30 am. Boxes, Mike has shipped me my desktop a new table that today is much smaller ha ha. 

Distractions I guess that makes scheduling so difficult. Creative moments from recent past 5 years. Time travel old images to peruse telling stories that lead to other stories.

Norwich 2002 a five mile walk led to this mailbox without a building. Fun. A five mile walk normal in 2002 new city no car reasonably healthy. 

A kitchen converted to a studio here in Oly. Rarely used but it works and the results please me 

Oh to have a muse, a monthly visit of eyes to speak with. Yes warm distractions, jazz, images, recent past…

and from an old life.  Maybe next post I’ll get beyond lunch? But I could become distracted. Stay tuned.
