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.

Whidbey Island Wa. Coupeville Harbor

Summer of 2001 I taught Photo Philosophy on Whidbey Island. I joked that I would be teaching manual photography under the shadow of “Windows.” There were eight students all using film. Most I convinced to use manual one shot at a time. To see and think and see again as the camera sees. Learning to see and understand simplicity. I now own a digital camera [for quick color never decaffeinate] but use it on manual all the time yet it still makes adjustments I don’t want. I strive to make all the decisions, meter, compose in view finder almost never crop [this image is slightly cropped due to it being printed on post card paper] there is always an exception. One image at a time belongs to you. One hundred images blasted off in in a minute on auto everything belong to the camera. The decisive moment! My moment. My thoughts repeated, lived and not changing soon. LOL  My web designers spent a few hours last Wednesday figuring out some update problems on this word press site. As I post this morning I notice there are two more updates to add. Well I’ve rambled my thoughts on Photographic Art long enough. Look at the image, like it or not tell your friends.     enjoy pjc not updated in 25 years!
