History


I did not take this photo, nor do i know who did.

While cleaning out the platform above my basement's foundation wall, i found a pack of negatives dated to 1938 and developed just around the street corner. Look closely at the number on that house - among the negatives are a few shots of my house in its youth.





Feels strange lonely naked to see my house without its friends, the walnut trees. Maybe they're hiding around the side, not as brave and tall and damaging and providing as they are now.
