I can’t take this image anymore.
It isn’t a coincidence that I start this new site with an old image
made with Tri-X from June of 1973 a young Photographic Artist celebrating youth, before
“Fear became our Daily Bread.”
This image is film still my medium of choice. The blog will often be digital to satisfy the need for almost instant gratification. The images will never be goodnuff, they will be statements made with light of the highest quality I can create. No matter the medium I won’t just throw up 100’s of images that are cute.
This new site and blog has an opportunity for comments on the almost daily posts and the images in the galleries. A chance to have a dialog with me and others. The only app. is a donation button or the chance to buy a print, a book or commission a session and become art. A one on one way of supporting the arts, this artist.

Independence Generations Celebrations
I had the privilege of celebrating the Forth of July Independence Day with two different generations. Being an observer and one who ponders, listens to what is said between the lines I found myself in my element at both gatherings. Image above is of a graphic designer pre-software where you had to create with a pen. She worked at design firms in NYC once with the man who hand lettered “Cadillac” his calligraphy stood the test of time. She marveled at what could be done on the computer now and I thought of how much more involved the artist was with a pen.
On the Forth I spent a beautiful afternoon with a group of friends who for the most part are younger than me. I felt right at home in both places and enjoyed the similarities of celebrations.
Back on the fifth this man posed for the photo something very common from that period. I remember looking looking at family photos from the fifties and seeing the same expression on aunts and uncles in every image.
The weather was splendid both days and both groups sought out shade. One of the similarities, also similar were chips, dips, hot dogs [or bratwurst] and a sharing of independence, America and its freedom. There were many different views of where we are as a nation I am sure but all were put aside for the sharing of commonality. There was talk from the older folks on the fifth of the war [WW2] and branches of service but the dominant theme was laughter and diet cheating. The main difference was music. There was music on the fifth and folks sang along to the hits of the forties shared voices and memories. On the forth we shared stories of concerts. Outrageous events from our youth and last week. Thanks to all for letting me into your stories. enjoy pjc
