Well it’s been a couple of months since I last wrote here, busy yes, distracted definatly. The good distractions are the ones to speak of tonight. Since finding home in Norwich late July, I have been more focused on creating new work. It wasn’t really Norwich I found more it was a return of the muse within. Seeing the highlight. In August a trip to Brattleboro reintroduced me to a city that sparked my muse, that is abundent with creativity and smiling people. The mountains, the clean air, the forty something stops on the First Friday Gallery Walk. There has been a second trip, would have been a third except for a small fire upstairs [that was a bad distraction little damage lots of water and chaos for seven days] A show in Sept. at ArtSpace with Sculptor Joey Sage Jablonski of our two mediums and views of the figure as an artistic statement.
But tomorrow it is off to Brattleboro again for the opening of The In-Sight Photography Project annual Silent Auction and Exhibit. In-Sight is a great program for teaching kids about photography [film wet darkroom]and more. Check out their website I have a piece in the auction and a page on my site of the newest project of mine. The Brattleboro Portfolio. First there was “All the Usual Subjects” a limited editon book of my work in Willimantic Ct. Now there is Faces and Facades a Five year look at the rebirth of Norwich Ct. and its downtown. A small sample can be seen on my site. Now there is Brattleboro where I plan to visit shoot and be at least a part time resident. Heck it’s only 120 miles and gas is cheap. So I’ll be there for the opening and all day Sat. the 7th wandering and shooting, if you see me say hi or can I be in your book, or I know something you should see.
Well enough rambling for now please feel free to post here on my blog or email me. Looking forward to meeting, and visually communicating with you. enjoy pjc
As soon as I can, I will make another Brattleboro trip with you.
I think we both fell in love with the city at the same time.
We also enjoyed our way-too-short visit to Brattleboro last week. Thanks for the tip on a great place. We definitely plan to return, so let us know when you and Cheryl plan to go again, and perhaps we’ll tag along. The falafel at Sarkis should not be missed, by the way. We took a wrong turn at a rotary, and wound up in New Hampshire! How cool is that? Anyway, good luck with the auction. I can’t wait to see the new work.
Two out-teemed waiting note with a formed motion of frond. To get back to the same tenor but with evident side available branches you know won’t be bad. Doting on crisp knuckled coffee mist there’s no use but to head down the valley, hey, there’s a musk bark there, must have breathed on it before I smelled it. Oh it’s a pinecone.
Have fun in VT Peter!
I got an email saying “If you havent read my blog, shame on you!”
No, shame on you! If you want readers, its your job to promote it. Step one of that would be sending out an email with a teaser about a blog entry – not a reader put-down. Second – how about including a link to the blog.
As a photographer, you may not be familiar with some of the elemntary rules of writing, but the first one is to make your writing easily accessible to readers. (Okay, let them struggle with your ideas, but not your expression of them.)
So, making a big sacrifice, I go to your web site to search for your blog– it’s not a primary link, for some reason– and upon finding it see that you haven’t posted since July.
Sheesh, Peter.
