Drawing on a street with shadows (quirky photo)
This image invokes a horrible memory I have about an accident my wife Gloria was in when she
was living in the Bedford-Stuyvasant area of Brooklyn, in the summer of 1969.
I had gone out to see why she hadn't returned to her apartment building and
found a crowd standing around a drawing on the street under near the
corner grocery she had told me she was going to. The drawing (of a
human figure) had blood inside it. I asked a policeman about it and
learned that Gloria had been badly hurt bay car that hit her then
ran away from the scene. She had been rushed to the nearest
hospital. I took this picture in Rochester, NY maybe ten
years after the accident in Brooklyn.

Quirky Images from the 12x12" Quirky Project
______________________________________________________________
See my Introduction to the
Interestingly, as I was looking at the earlier 12x12" Project
I could not understand how I had selected some of the
images included in that project. That's the problem
with imposing a conceptual framework on images
that have their own visual validity. . .
Image #3 12x12" Quirky Photos PROJECT Upside-down stairs
(From the early 1994-2000 Studies Project)
Image #4 12x12" Quirky Photos PROJECT White wall, truck Shadow, metal & rubber wheels
(From the early 1994-2000 Studies Project)
Image #23 12x12" Quirky Photos PROJECT Miniature Pony reflected in a puddle
from my project The 12x12" Early Studies Photographs
See my collection of Studies Projects, and in particular
Studies I, 1994-2000 and Studies II --which is a Homage project to the
great (and quirky) jazz composer and pianist Thelonious Monk.
Image #29 12x12" Quirky Photos PROJECT A Bather looking at me from within an ocean of light
(From the early 1994-2000 Studies Project)
This Rousseau painting fascinated our two year old son Shaun as he lay on his changing table
by the curtained window. I collaged together several strips of photographic images
(from other 10x10" silver gelatin prints) to construct this collaged image.
(Note: After I initiated my blog in late 2010 and made several new blog photography projects
I went back to some of my early silver gelatin print projects and--where possible--made
digital copies of the prints for blog publication purposes so that I could have a more
expanded online Archive of my Creative Process in photography which
included silver print projects.)

Image #65 12x12" Quirky Photos PROJECT "Still Life reflection in TV screen"
This image, and the next two, were inspired by zen ink brush painters
Image #69 12x12" Quirky Photos PROJECT The United States (in big trouble) hanging by a string
Closing note: All of the 12x12" Quirky Photographs would look great
in the18x18" size format. I just had too many different reasons for
choosing not to print them larger at the time.
