Charlie's photography is intensely stunning in person. I love going to his shows!
I have to say that it has become a fascinating adventure since I realized my capacity to be a creative being. The creative drive is an inherent feature of being. I would suggest that T. Jefferson might have got it wrong when he proscribed one of the inalienable rights as “the pursuit of happiness.” Rephrasing that clause of the Declaration could be “life, liberty and the support to be as brilliantly creative as one can possibly be.”
Continued from post below: Prospective participants in an appearance notice the camera, and everything changes. I think the closest any photographer has come to that has been Walker Evans who concealed a camera under his coat and photographed subjects across the aisle on a bus.
While riding the Amtrak: I sometimes dream of a fantasy invention. It comes from my desire to be able to blink my eyes and record what they see, much as a camera would do. I suppose it could be a device much like a miners light, but that would suffer the disadvantage of multiple viewpoints, or parallax, as it’s referred to in rangefinder cameras. My preference would be for a sort of “through the lens capability. Now we could do a bionic thing where a digital sensor was installed to interrupt my field of vision when I blinked, thus recording the appearance. I’m not sure that I could learn to blink for specified lengths of time, like 1/125 second, but maybe the bionic engineers could install a control on my elbow where I could make that adjustment. The point of this device is to allow me to instantly record such as the scene across the aisle, instantly and without interruption, and without the process of hauling the camera out of the backpack.

Charlie Cawley successfully challenges viewers with an assortment of photographs simply titled "Refletages." He captures city scenes through reflections and altered lighting to create distorted yet honest images. NCSU Technician 9-12-03 Review of Reflections and Altered Surfaces show. ___________________________________________________________________________ Charles Cawley's Winslow, Az. is a "what else they are" landscape, a digital color print of a rest area in a national park with a cutout "viewing window" in a brick wall framing and minimizing the magnificent view, like a photograph of the scene rather than the real one. It's a witty reminder of the mistake tourists often make: so busy trying to memorialize a trip on film that they miss the experience of actually being there.
