I've been wondering what to do with words
in relation to photographs
in relation to seeing.
I thought writing on location
would be WRITING on location, not
shooting the puddles, the effects
of overnight rain. I got the idea
from re-reading Gardiner
as rain dreg and going there
to collect what the dregs
might be.

Ah yes, Gardiner: Hillsdale's 'Premier' Avenue, with the tallest houses, nicest trees, and most quaint paved alleyway cut-through to the rest of the city. Rich with water and valuable alluvium in the summertime, (from the 2nd floor, at night) within earshot of downtown trains, engines accelerating up Broad Street into the distance, and the twinkling lights of the Roberts Plaza. -AW, former resident
Thanks, AW. I was an Anderson boy myself but had one good friend on Gardiner and a girlfriend on Gardiner. There was supposed to be a matching alleyway cut-through, as you call it, on Anderson but years ago a homeowner persuaded the City to seal it off, claiming it was always filled with kids and garbage.
This play of words and photos really works (I thought I had posted a comment before, but I guess not. My mind is a puddle. Apuddle).
