Approximately six homes along Miles St
I recently agreed to join the current round of the Portland Grid Project. I was a bit hesitant about the commitment but at the same time recognized the value in having some additional motivation to not just get out to make more photos, but to get outside of my usual routes in search of those photos. The first grid sent me off to the edge of Multnomah Village. I didn't quite know what to make of the area photographically, but that sort of exploration is also one of the reasons I figured this project might prove of value to me. So I took a couple of cameras with me but it was my Holga I ended up using the most. While other cameras I own may be more trusted, or more battle-worn, or have been with me longer, I don't know any other camera I would rather take into a situation where I don't know what I intend to do creatively speaking. Something about this camera lends itself well to exploration of various sorts, and encourages me to try different things. Anyway, at some point I was walking down one of the side streets noting the differences, but mostly the similarities, between the homes lined up one next to the other. So I spent an entire block stopping and overlapping a picture of one house over the next.
Holga 120N
Kodak Ektar 100 (but it is much better in b&w)
