ST150 ... The Image
a short doc of a photographer... patrickwey
It couldn't have been more than a few decades since time stood still. It lay on the mind like an image on a pond, like a south bronx side street in the borough, a little hick town in the southwest, a silhouette on the edge of the mind. He wasn't anything extraordinary cept for the images he scraped off the streets of the world. His name was normal, his face was fare, his time was bent on finding another scene that would last forever for-awhile. He was a photographer in a mind when science and art collaborated like a surface and depth does in a true love blossoming against the madness and beauty of a boulevard.
These were the times when analog was the only way, time blended in a moment like a back lit figure would against the bricks of civilization, the streets, a western world turning. He waited for the light to fall pure as rays of waves alive sharp and soft captured innocently and definite. That was his plight, nothing magnificent, nothing more and nothing less……. the image.

Wow, this is absolutely amazing photography, Patrick. What a stunning video Campsall made of your work over the years in "Rock this Town 80". I love the street art best, capturing those fleeting moments and stilling them for all to see. The photography of the 80s bands and musicians really captured that moment in time as well. Then the surreal digital art--I loved that as well. I hope more people get a chance to see this.
