Back in Galilee RI April 2010

Another image from the fishing fleet in Galilee RI. Two years since I have been there perhaps another look later this year. Been a lot in the news regarding the “fishing industry” it looks like another blow against small independents. I admit I haven’t followed the story well. Here is an article from The Huffington Post regarding over fished areas and the system of controlled marketing of fish. “One fish two fish red fish blue fish.” Dr Suess. Or how the Marine Stewardship Council rates fisheries. There are links in article to Washington Post piece and other opinions on over fishing. I just like the small business and the boats. Independent like the family farm that is disappearing.       enjoy pjc

Studio Muse Portrait

by // Leave a Comment


A moments pause by my Muse an image is made. An invitation to ponder, what is being said by this subject, this Photographic Artist. “Every image you make is a self portrait” be it a beautiful young muse wide eyes or a textured wood colored barn. Images all speak to you in a silent wonderful visual language. Are the words the same to all. No, does she speak the same words every time you look no, nor does the barn. “A photograph is a secret about a secret the more it tells you the less you know.” Diane Arbus. It is your day about which she speaks an ambiguous, solitary, alluring. You correspond the emotion to the image. Image made in 2004 silver gelatin print. Eight years later she still speaks to me different words with each view, they all still speak with me, Barns, Rivers, Abstracts…                           enjoy pjc

July 02 The Muse Layered Life Westerly RI

by // 3 Comments

From the Last Session with my Muse of two years. An early image in the “Layered Life Portfolio.” We wandered around Westerly RI it was a perfect day. The image made on High St in the window of  84 High Street Cafe a great place to eat and socialize, the little boy inside, the woman on the left exiting and the Muse behind me reflecting in the window. Reflecting back this is one of my favorite images of The Muse. Perhaps one of my all time favorites but so many images it is hard to say for sure. So many unprinted negatives, my current health keeps me only able to print for an hour or two so I will share past images my favorites and some thoughts on creation perhaps you may pick up and idea or two.
