Fine Art Photographer
I look for an image a particular shot and memory. I find so many though, images commentary on life by a passionate observer. It is an emotional trip. 
Three Penny Opera Eastford Ct. 1979
Now my travels with my granddaughter.
The Flower, spring youth.
Women many think it is all I shoot. Perhaps it is all you see?
But it is all light creating emotion. Late day light in Bruce’s Kitchen from the sun and friendship.

Low Key Figure silver gelatin print on warm tone paper.
When you have finished manipulation? Do you ever finish manipulation when is the piece finished? When is it Art?
Manipulation isn’t new this image is a study of a pregnant women. Shot on 35mm film at ISO 1600 to gain more grain and texture. It was then printed onto a sheet of 4×5 film giving me a positive image, then contact printed on to a 4×5 sheet of litho film [high contrast film used in the printing industry]this film sees just Black and White and adds more texture and grain. Many steps that I decided on while shooting the original negative in very contrasty studio light. When did it become Photographic Art?
What are your thoughts? When Does an image become Art? peace pjc
Thompson’s is a place where there is time to chat. Excellent Grinders, Coffee, feed for you animals. It is a true general store a step back in time where quality matters. Stop by if you are heading through The Depot, you’ve already slowed down for the tracks. Treat yourself at a great little market. Feeling Nostalgic today. enjoy pjc
