Triangles, Doors with Shadows

Feb. 25th walk to Tumwater Falls an incomplete walk. Kirsten and Tancern came and picked me up, good for I was out of gas and low Blood Sugar. New insulin a 2 + mile walk, bad timing need to carry food? I have to fix this walking is creativity for me, mobility. Motion and emotion my themes and the answer to the contest that was to difficult to enter. I have come to a grips with no car not easy my ct circle had dwindled to a 50 mile radius providing many different departures for my strolls.  

DSC_0199 S15 Sat +5 Cnst -10 Drk20 2-25-16So motion was today’s ramble short movements no more than 10ft inside strolls as it is what I now think of as a poor winter day 49 lt rain breeze oh how quickly N. E. Winters fade. But the inner strolls through images life a long pleasant walk today. Detours abound what is that road over there in 1981 where does it go? Today I looked for an older image to compliment this or just looking for visual and verbal images  to spark conversation. It is three hours later and apt wanderings and time travels are paused an old blog updated link Photographic Art  below. Hope all these rambling bring you a smile.

Spring 1982 a stroll through The Fashionable East Side I found these two generations enjoying the warm afternoon. In Prov., Coventry, Willimantic, and Norwich I walked everywhere not having a car for 20 years till 2005 a five six mile day was nothing 2-3 the normal. In Willi I lived again on the top of the Fashionable Hill section. Although when I told my friends I was moving to Bellevue many said about time or at last. The number of times I had to climb the hill daily became directly proportionate to the number of cold beers and arrival time at Willimantic Brewing Co. On days where my travels brought me up and down the hill a few times before noon, well the lunch started around two and if it was a day with a “Y” in it no work after lunch.  enjoy pjc

Old Roads, Traveled Again 2016

Retrospective the word for 2016 a year to be spent reviewing and scanning 45 years of images. 

057 Lebonan Pond on way to Cars 11-18-13 This from November 18th 2013 Rt. 87 the road to Carl and Maarit’s. I could take the highway be there quicker but Rt. 87 just drives well. Sunday radio on Patriots game and Jets or Giants game poking along at the speed limit how rude. It was my road there were areas that I stopped so often the people would wave occasionally come and ask what I see? This pond in Lebanon during Autumn had spectacular light sheering across the plants and dead trees. 

Image made on Canon Rebel from the turn of century. Thanks Scott for the introduction.

October 16th an Afternoon Stroll

The days start slow coffee, meds eat, wait for meds to work play online. Second, third gear lunch. Out to the world the light is right it always is, State Street meander to Percival landing.

DSC_0045 S45 B-2 Shd Lgt20 HiLtDrk-20 10-16-15 Percival Landing often a destination to read, write but today the sun that shone when I left for the bus was replaced by a cool breeze and a hazy shade of winter. The table and chairs where I would sit and write have been moved indoor for the season. Winter is closing in, but the light was right it always is. The water the boats abstract reflections.

DSC_0039 S50 B-2 Cnst+60 Brt Shad Lgt Hi30 10-16-15I wonder is everything just a reflection? Light and shade create  reality the reflection different each time you look painted with a wider brush.  Summer dances on the ripples of Autumns chilly breath.

DSC_0040 RAW S40 B+2 G-2 R+2 Cnst+60 10-16-15Trying to catch a reflection of a gull cavorting above, not easy. Twenty minutes no gull. I walk on viewing the public art and shooting some skateboarders. A Molasses cookie at Traditions and back to the bus ninety minutes after getting off the bus I am heading home a good productive walk.  The light was right it always is………………………..
