Places, homes from early in my work 1972-73, 1980’S

03.04.2020 by Peter J. Crowley // 2 Comments

A tidal pool crossing Cosey Beach  Ave  1972. A daily treat to walk the beach with a friend. For a six month or so period I would step out the back door and soon be greeted by a Golden Retriever she was there for a walk. I never found out who she belonged to and she never asked to come in the house. 

Squeeze  loading in for a 80’s summer concert on Madison Green.  Madison Ct. Summers, The Wharf at The Madison Beach Hotel. Arriving there to meet Jim in early May Dewey the bartender announces Peter is here the summer has begun. 

A Radio Flyer to transfer winter warmth to the house.

Cosey Beach wasn’t glitzy the waterfront cottages were nicer. The neighborhood was poor. Strife between the city and the neighborhood after the city sold the playground to a restaurant. I found this all out the 2nd night I lived there. The 4th of July Independence Day  and the streets were full of people expressing there anger in no uncertain terms. 

Stony Creek and Kodachrome a short ride made often for peace, wandering, seeing. I would return here through out my years in Ct. I rarely returned to Cosey Beach Ave. It became a destination as I rushed to get myself ready to move west.  So many places, people to see that Brattleboro and Cosey beach were left out.

Film recently scanned and shot. B+W TriX my go to voice. Old and pasted by technology the decisive moment becomes quantity  how many images can your camera make in an hour? What does the image say? 700 photos in 6 hours and my battery sill has power. TMax 400 30 exposures over 3 days last week six I like. Every image you make is a self portrait.

Olympia High School Shape and Line

Olympia High School

March 10th 2018

Ilford Delta 400 Rodinal 1/25 9.5 mins

All anyone ever photographs is light. The subject merely a vehicle to transform the light into emotion.

Simplicity the hardest concept to grasp.

Not my usual shapes but an excellent subject for an unfamiliar film. 

My eyes and auto focus allow me to shoot film this spring. So this season of new life I wander through documenting it all in B+W. It is new life for me or the revisiting an old life, my favorite time. Just me and the rectangle.     peace pjc
