With a nod to Charles Sheeler
Today was my third attempt at taking this picture. It's almost where I want it.

When do we buy it and run away once and for all? How much is freedom going to cost?

The green of the mural is distracting but other than that I like it. I think a series of images of chairs in alleyways by back doors may be in order though. I've taken this picture in spirit a dozen times.

Makes you want to live there. Or not. I don't understand why this exists. I don't know how anyone would sell 40 hours of their life each week to live in one of these boxes.
Only 55 days to got until the completion of this project. I'm wondering if I will stop or if this has become too habit forming to let it end so abruptly.

It was the great circus train wreck of 2007. Eli the Elephant lost his life, as did the ring master and the elephant trainer. The rumors of their elicit affair were never proven.

This one is very intriguing for me. Perhaps because it's a departure from the architectural theme, perhaps because it has a depth that many of the pictures have lacked lately. It's chock full of narrative and metaphor. And unlike the last driving picture it's taken from the driver's seat.

I've driven by this building dozens of times thinking I would like to take a photograph of it. There's been a decided architectural bent to these images lately. I'm not sure what that's about.

The light was terrible when I took this photograph but I like how it turned out.

We've all seen them, the old photographs of post war suburban developments where there was so much hope and promise of a brighter future but now we have them in a contemporary context, and the photos still embody the idea of hope despite faded colours and being time warped into a time where new burdens have been thrust upon us and the shiny future promised us has turned out to mostly involve long work days and a fleeting idea of the American Dream dangled just out of reach (...if I work just a little bit harder...). These houses in this photograph are only a couple of years old. It's stupefying to think we still haven't learned.

Grainy, dark, and unclear, like the memory. (when did I get so chatty about my photographs?)

It's been a spectacular summer off but the process begins again. I feel good about where this one might end up.

A theme picture? Halloween? Dismembered, throat slit, impaled dolls? At least she seems happy about it.

It's showing signs of it's age, but I would take it over many newer models because it has character.
