Continuing That Alley

Someday that alley might not be there. Then we'll have something to remember it by. Just as it was, way, way, back in 2020. In the Dark Ages.

 This is what they had back then. Not very pretty, is it? You've got to feel sorry for those folks back in the 21st Century. 

 Clearly, they had a thing for wires. Wars too. From this era we have the legends of War Rogers, the Bazooka Buckaroo. And his horse, Buttermilk. Nobody has yet been able to determine what "buttermilk" meant, or was. Truly a mystery.

Well, I am a long way from being done with this.

In The Alley

It was a pleasant morning when I made this photo trek.

It was only last weekend but seems like ages ago. 

Maybe lurking around in places like this can change one's sense of time as well as one's sense of scale. But that's a risk that must be taken, in the quest for photographic ground truth. Where the technicolor fun and fantasy fits into this scheme I don't know. Maybe it doesn't fit at all. Like, I really care. Ha.

Through A Lens Starkly

Documenting that alley in that slice of time, in the starkest terms possible.

Plenty of time later for technicolor fun and fantasy. Not now.

First, we're going to have it raw.

The Alley 2

Continuing.

This stuff is old and very improvised looking. 

That's it for today.

Deferring More Garden, On To The Alley

Plenty of time for garden stuff later. I did the alley as a series of black&white/grayscale shots and color pics. First I will put up all of the non-color pics, and then I will put up all of the color shots. At ten per day this will take me into July. By that time the patio garden should be the usual jungle and I can spend some time there. As usual, file sizes have been reduced significantly. Full size pics are always archived on removable media.

So this is the "locator". Obviously 34th Street or nearby.

We are entering the alley. Looks like something out of a David Lynch movie. 

I can already see that it's going to be hard to keep track of things.

And this is our first real "sight". Soon the "sights" will be coming thick and fast!
