A Life in Photographic Art

Different directions the days and decades offer. Light performing as youth, passion, motion, emotion. Real, surreal, erotic abstracts. Excess where possession replaces passion.

The Daily November 17th Wind, Rain, Dark

11.17.2015 by Peter J. Crowley // 2 Comments

Tuesday November 17th 2015. Darkness, Darkness, winter rains whipped by high winds I hunker down inside my virtual life. Seeking the highlight through drawn shades. The lights blink like my attention span. Blips on my screen don’t respond the more I engage the more I feel it is a waste of time draining my emotional strength.

DSC_0057 S15 B-3 Stain Glass 8-17-15Image made in church have had a few very diverse feelings of what I am saying here from dark,  inspiring, sinister, sometimes I know what I want to say with an image. Other times it is the light the shapes leading to ambiguity. This is one frame not post processed except for size. August 17th a photo day with Roger I make this image thinking about the light and design of stained glass, a path to the light, seeking the high light. ISO 1600 1/80th at F-8.  From dark to light the windows lead or is it the other direction? Metaphors, Ambiguity a 1000 changing words. What do you see? 

The life of an artist is a dream drifting through images, words a visual language sometimes clear often ambiguous. A Wonderful Dream. I have been awake too much lately!

The contest continues.
