I’m taking more pictures for the sake of staying sharp. Often times I get bogged down with the “What is the true purpose” trap instead of just photographing stuff because I think it looks nice.

My name is Ron Cowie and I think about the connections photography creates. Writing about it helps.

A small, empty perfume bottle. I like to think she used it all. #perfume #stilllifephotography #byemom #deardorffcamera #ilfordhp5 #smellgoods #altprocessphotography #filmisnotdead #onthegroundglass #largeformatphotography

I met and photographed @dantepope at @rhythmandrootsfestival when he was playing drums for @domflemons . We hit it off, and for a short while, he mentored me on the drums. He’s a tremendous multi-instrumentalist Now, he’s the drummer for @crowmedicine . All of his success is well deserved, and I’m better for knowing him. You should follow him too. I made his portrait with my 8x10 camera backstage. It’s one of my favorites. #oldcrowmedicineshow #rhythmandrootsri #drummersofinstagram #8x10camera #8x10photography #portriatphotography #musiciansofinstagram #dantepopemusic #ilfordphoto #deardorff8x10 #altprocessphotography

Coming into PHX

Gray Park is a very accomplished plein aire painter from Stonington CT. This portrait was made in his studio with the 8x10 camera. It was a beautiful sunny day, but the windows were dirty. The result is nice soft, directional light. #pleinairpainting #artgallery #stoningtonborough #portraitoftheday #artists #deardorff8x10 #largeformatphotography #negativesupply #filmisnotdead #artistportrait #ilfordhp5
