Norwich History 10 or 100 Years Triptych

A Life in Photographic Art My second book

September Eighth 2002

Since arriving in Norwich I have been documenting the Cities attempt to revitalize in a very harsh economy. The Wauregan’s restoration is a focal point in downtown. The back wall has been a subject of mine for most of the nine years. First a shot from my “Layered Life Series” that abstractly presents 100 or more years of history, [difficult to see the nuances of downtown Trolleys in reflection at 72 pixels see comment here]  to the second image from the restoration and the third image of  the old Painted logo/Hotel name.

The third image brings me full circle as it speaks of the influence of Walker Evans on my images. The painted wall art of the 30’s Walker’s images were portraits of a nation, of the people but often without a person. These three images briefly tell a story of Norwich history through my lens/eyes, changing facades. A sketch of the past an outline to the future.

Spend a few minutes seeing through my eyes follow the links poetry and philosophy of a pondering artist obviously not a 140 character man. Rich, poor by who’s standards? Smell the Roses.

Old Work, New Work

Galilee Rhode Island a portrait of  a simpler time of small business and hard work, fresh fish not fish sticks or MacLead patties.

On March eleventh I started posting “The Galilee Portfolio” an old road I am re-traveling. I was there again the week before last. The images I made were on B+W film and color transparencies. Sure there was a couple of digital images for the instant gratification crowd but these are also instantly forgotten. Snapshots for fun. Since 2004 till late February I had no place to print my own art. Now I do so here is the way I see it after much thought, over the next year I will be printing old portfolios/projects. Some of these images will be previewed here. Once a month I’ll have a Salon where these new prints will be available. There may be one to three of each image with around 500 rolls of film to choose from most of these old road/new prints will not be visited again. Watch for location of  the May Salon.                               enjoy pjc
