PETER J. CROWLEY

Seeking the Highlight

Since 1971 I've worked as a photographer, always striving to locate and share what's good in life.

All anyone really photographs is light. The subject is merely a vehicle to transform the light into an emotion.

The marketplace is filled with images that are created electronically or that are manipulated later (found) in the darkroom. The image I create is in the viewfinder. It is a way of seeing - interpreting light and movement in this space. The point of creation is when I click the shutter. What I share with the viewer is this moment, this deliberate act of seeing, this dancer moving in this space, that flower against the skin. I try to show more of the performer in ordinary people doing ordinary things, presenting life itself as a performing art, where everyday details momentarily exist as aesthetic forms embodying ideas and emotions.
