February in the Mid 80’s Warm enough for a Walk

Back in the 80’s I worked for The River East News Bulletin driving back through Hebron I pasted this man walking in the late day sun. Cold for sure but I turned around went back and chatted with him. Yep he walked every day it was dry. We spoke of the past and his life and how nice a day it was[his words I was freezing] a pipe of tobacco and the bright sun he was pleased. Asking if I could take his picture he posted I shot and he carried on with his walk. I made this image as he returned to his stroll. enjoy pjc

Natures Beauty can be found everywhere.

A trip to the mountains of Vt. or a country road. There’s plans to make weather to watch for and expense.

It’s all a state of mind. I’d love to go to Vt. But no budget, busy with tasks. We all are but disconnect from you I-Phone take a deep breath and see what is right there. These two images were made in Norwich. The first between rain showers at Staples parking lot and the second at Stop and Shop’s lot by the Yantic River at the golden hour just before sunset or an hour after sunrise. At these times the color temperature kelvin is warmer/golden yellow. As for the image at Staples rain is an enhancement of color not a reason to not go shoot. These are task images taken while I run around. Take time to see more then the ads and buildings. Nature waits.

The day my friends convinced me to try a photo in my printer.

The image was made in an empty apt. in the old section of ArtSpace Norwich. Being a complete film photographer at the time and rarely using my desktop printer for anything but letters I agreed to try the printer.

Well it appears that the only color ink left was red.I could say I’m posting this as a breast cancer awareness month photo and that works. But in reality I just found it in a draw and it gave me a chuckle. enjoy pjc
