Wim Wenders and Me

02.27.2018 by Peter J. Crowley // 3 Comments

Recently read an article in The Guardian about Wim Wenders Polaroids. His thoughts on the Art Photography Genre rang true they could be my words.  “The culture has changed. It has all gone. I really don’t know why we stick to the word photography any more. There should be a different term, but nobody cared about finding it.”
“It’s not just the meaning of the image that has changed – the act of looking does not have the same meaning. Now, it’s about showing, sending and maybe remembering. It is no longer essentially about the image. The image for me was always linked to the idea of uniqueness, to a frame and to composition. You produced something that was, in itself, a singular moment. As such, it had a certain sacredness. That whole notion is gone.” That was my world and will continue to be it isn’t the problem of the copiers of things in front of them it is my problem for being unable to accept content and quantity as the new normal. Technically excellent void of emotion “What program did you use”? peace pjc

Olympia Fall Arts Walk A Show for Me

09.03.2017 by Peter J. Crowley // 2 Comments

Twice a year Olympia’s businesses and arts come together for a weekend celebration. My work will be exhibited at the Thurston First Bank 600 Franklin St. I am thrilled to finally see my images in this great Olympia event.

So what to show? There are a few options.

Dance and Theater

Detail, Abstract, Realism

Layered Life

The City as a Muse

So many portfolio’s from “A Life in Photographic Art.”

What would you show, want to see? The images will be silver gelatin prints. Traditional B+W prints my medium of choice. Maybe an assortment will be best. Come by Friday October 7th 5:00-10:00 and Saturday the 8th noon to 5pm. The images will be for sale as well as copies of my two books. 

enjoy pjc

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.
