Mar Lea appts. Ashford CT. First place I lived after the marriage split. A dark time Kirsten visits rarely from daily adventures, out to lunch. Gardening, walking with her ducks to Fritz’s. New things found and once in a while lousy pancakes. Now just a day and a half twice a month if I was lucky.
Madison Ct. at Jim and Carla’s visiting for the weekend of the Durham fair. A Molson Golden Ale, a Lunar Pro and a Nikon F. tools of the trade.
Olympia 2016 Molly’s photo of me and my journal.
Cosey Beach E. Haven Ct. 1972? We lived on the water or at times in the water. Perched on a little knoll around 17 inches above sea level. But winter storms combined with a full moon the water got very close. Hurricanes flooded the street on the non sound side. Yikes motor boats evacuations we watched, friends would come to see for power of nature eating brownies watching waves crashing over two story cottages party on….WOW!
My Intern Molly Walsh did a series of me in May 2017. A Punk Rock Juke Box tee a Conn College dance print. Editing, archiving a process that continues slowly. 
A braided beard, art direction and photo by Inara.
January 2020 a Zoo York tee from Kirsten one of three keeping me warm. Liz my care giver has learned to use my camera like Inara they do well with this odd subject.
An outtake from my Press Pass photo at the Stratford News 1973. The free press news feature weekly, The Shakespeare Theater, day to day life community news. A hippie photo journalist accepted by the community.
This from 1972 previous from ’73 a year and a half later after a trim. “Your hair is getting good in the back” Frank Zappa. This pass still resides in my wallet. From the 70’s to the mid 2014 in Ct. a ticket to almost everything.

Hi, Peter. I’m really enjoying your site, and it’s easier to access and comment on now. I love your photos! If the photo of you from Cosey Beach, EH is from 1972, that’s the year I ran into you on Orange Street in New Haven, I think it was near the market. It was such a nice surprise. I will watch for more photos on your FB page, that seems to be the way for me to access. Keep them coming, I love them. I hope you are well, stay in touch! Best thoughts from me and from Dean. (HUGS)
Thank you I’m glad whatever demon was messing with our computers is gone. Cosey Beach, Orange Street A+P spent a few minutes trying to verify ’72 [73] in my mind 72 it was sometime after August. Wow before Kirsten. Hey to Dean. peace and hugs pjc
We have that same multi-colored shade lamp.
Love the series Peter. It doesn’t show you as I know you (and lots of others) as a great friend. I do love seeing when your beard didn’t hide your face…lol! Peace to you, Peter
The look in your eyes did not change as the years went by, nor did your vision of what was important to capture through your camera lens.
Morning Rich, I wish the beard would grow over my bald spot. I don’t have a photo of the beardless me from the great Joe Namath “take it off take it all off bet.” Ha Ha Ha enjoy pjc
Alice thank you my Irish Eyes are there smiling 50% of the time. My ability to see has improved. Not metaphorically that is still 20/20 but in reality . Perhaps it is my new diabetes medicine, no more insulin results in a very steady blood sugar. Since the second I have been shooting with manual focus lenses on my digital Nikon perhaps film in the spring. peace pjc
John the same lamp shade LOL thanks for commenting. peace
