New England Whitewater Adventure Circa October 1991

November 1, 2018 By Jim Crowley

I’ve been digitizing my old 35 mm negatives on and off for quite some time now. One of the many challenges I’ve encountered is my ability to accurately date the images. The latest set of images that I’m working with are almost 30 years old. They are from a New England whitewater adventure that I […]

Top Secret Waterfront Mural

June 22, 2016 By Jim Crowley

A few weeks ago while I was on my noontime walk along the river I came upon a fellow who asked me if I wanted to know something “Top Secret”. Normally I don’t talk to strangers but he had a notebook/sketch pad and a small ladder. He was sitting on the sidewalk by the concrete […]

Jimson Weed

November 26, 2013 By Jim Crowley

Today a made a somewhat startling discovery. One of the wonderful plants that I have been photographing for several years, is highly toxic and can actually be fatal in relatively small amounts. It grows along the river-walk next to the Susquehanna River. Common names for it include, Loco Weed, Jimson Weed, Thornapple, Moon Flower, Devils […]

Life and Death on the River

October 31, 2013 By Jim Crowley

I have written about my daily, noontime walks along the Susquehanna and specifically about death on the river before, however, yesterday’s walk was very saddening. I saw more death on the river, a dead Heron laying along the bank. There is always a considerable amount of dead things scattered about. I’m not sure if this […]

Viking Funeral on the Susquehanna River

September 23, 2013 By Jim Crowley

Viking Funeral

Preparations are underway for a Viking Funeral on the Susquehanna River. I’m not sure what this thing is but it certainly looks to me like it is going to be set on fire. I wish I stay around long enough to see what becomes of it.  Albums | Hiawatha Humdinger | 2nd Annual Olympus InVision Pennsylvania […]

(No) Reflections on a Catfish

February 15, 2012 By Jim Crowley

I have had glasses now for 6 years. In that time, for one reason or another I had never bothered to get prescription sunglasses and to be honest I don’t know why. Prior to my needing prescription glasses I had always worn polarized sunglasses especially on and around water. You can just see much better with them […]

Dead Things Part 2 – Riverfront Park Crayfish

August 15, 2011 By Jim Crowley

Crayfish

Imagine if you belonged to a species that was routinely fished for and consumed by other species. I don’t mean “fished for” in the modern day digital sense, as in the common “phishing scam”, but a more literal sense such as with a fishing hook, sharp talons or pointy beak. This would be an utterly terrifying way […]

Dead Things Part 1 – The Smell of Rotting Fish

July 27, 2011 By Jim Crowley

Everyday for quite some time (several years) I have been spending my lunch hour walking along the Susquehanna River in Harrisburg’s Riverfront Park. The park runs parallel to the river between the shoreline and Front Street from Vaughn Street south to Paxton Street for a distance of about 5 miles. One of the prominent features […]
