Scene

Visually vivacious these introspective images have been created since Charlie Cawley moved to the Nation's Oldest City from the West Coast. His Unique technique is a breath of fresh air in a tourist town overrun by plain-Jane postcards dripping with wish you were here sentiment.A champion of a genre known as street photography he is a fine artist who finds humor and beauty and wonder during his wanderings amongst the city's ever-present horse carriages pedi-cabs and tourist trollies. When given a rainstorm he makes a masterpiece by pointing his lens towards a puddle. Under his care a storefront window glare becomes a crafty eye-catching collage. This guy is having too much fun and it shows in these pages.Charlie?s images are slice-of-life stories told from the point of view of a tour guide that is part professor court jester and confessor. The streets of St. Augustine are filled with poetry and Cawley gives us an eyeful of verse in this well-crafted collection.
