Elma Washington a Summer Afternoon

06.28.2020 by Peter J. Crowley // 2 Comments

A trip to another Mill town. Walking new streets I have seen before.

This one being a Lumber Mill. Two towns actually Elma and McCleary. This on the road out of Elma but I found more compelling images in Elma. 

Reflections of days gone by suit my seeing.  Stories seen in the layers of downtown. In both towns tales of boom and bust told by residential homes sections that were built at the boom time all very similar. Then another group built 10-20 years later. 

Downtown repurposed store fronts some with false fronts like a western movie. But here it is life past and present. Thrift shops pot shops and wood pellets. Friendly people 90% wore masks and greeted us as we strolled through town. 

Eloquent detailed mosaic speaks of better times. 

Peace can be found among the Goldenrod’s, the sun and the breeze. Breathing well Nikon in hand strolling. Seeing  a blend of  memories, emotion a moment happens when I depress the shutter. The moment, the emotion is complete to share with you. 

The Bank of Elma sits waiting for the next boom, restoration life. Many moments this day present, past,  joyous, sad woven into humanity.

Seek the highlight as I do but also see the shadows without which there would be no highlight. 

peace

2019 – 2008 Why?

01.09.2019 by Peter J. Crowley // Leave a Comment

How does one arrive in 2008 today. A specific image sought and found easily thanks to Heather who organized my files. Serendipity I choose winter trees. Jan 9th 2008 

                  Twenty one years ago a cold January day. I have reviewed these before never quite happy with the images. Not quite sharp 20mm FP4 Red Filter a bit of shake or shiver. Today I shiver without the cold Ct winds. Perhaps I am now more inclined to except the shiver and bright contrasting light. 

Layered Life La Stella 2002 Norwich.

 This from 2002 how does it fit today’s narrative. It doesn’t I don’t even like the word narrative. Agenda, brand, ya di ya di. Old remembering parents not understanding new. Now it’s me Photographic Art not content, edited [not the post process edit] for quality. Viewed before instant posting of everything on your camera I mean phone.

I wander through the years, my years without direction finding highlights and shadows. A volume of images/life fading away refusing to get with the flow. Art exquisitely presented, individual  visual words, not quick and cheap not today.  peace pjc
