Surface texture, design, art, or is it just a metaphor of life? Soft warm and smooth the baby is born little surface texture. The shell hardly formed. The old stones in the canyons or by the sea starting rough and sharp slowly reach towards soft and smooth. What is the direction of reaching the soft smooth texture? Living creatures or stone, wood, all achieve soft and smooth. The social world builds shells of texture and fear upon the living. But the rock by the sea or in a canyon adapts slowly to mother natures wind and waves to proceed with the harmony of soft and smooth. Broken the rock returns to sharp and rough. While the human grows hard and rough with age finally softening with age. Dismiss the “I” in this soft rant and consider the life of a stone and a baby as equals. At some point in their lives they are soft and smooth equals in a less than equal time.

The Lights are on but No One is Home Yet, Light of the Sun
Late day and the parking lights are on as the Norwichtown Mall restoration continues.
Strong late afternoon sun create this apparently warm light yesterday afternoon. I have a problem or a dilemma with posting this tree you see what I saw was a B+W photo with a red filter to create a high contrast image. But the B+W I shoot is film so I am drawn to wanting this the way I saw the original image. I could but won’t convert it in PS. No matter what I do in PS the image never has the edge of a B+W neg/print. Maybe it is me but there is a whole different emotion produced by film the tactile feel of it the lingering study of the subject. The feeling of a book as opposed to a kindle. To me digital is a destination without a journey and the road of life is a journey of places in the soul, places that move you. A visual poem part of the journey, part of the story as you look at images of my journey you add your life’s story to fit my image in your response becoming part of my journey. enjoy pjc
Photographic Art
Earlier effort at conversion, I thought sometime recently I posted a side by side of color and desaturated to B+W but can’t find it now.
