West End

On a recent rainy day, I wandered out into the late afternoon drizzle with my three dogs and a camera. The setting was cold and dim, but perfect for creating images of a certain texture and dimension that would be elusive in better conditions. These images represent the path I often take with the dogs, an odd shaped loop down Tift-a road that is barely more than an alley-then lefts on Murphy and Aberntathy until we reach Wells again. This neighborhood is Atlanta's West End, an area most city-dwellers don't recognize when mentioned. I think it has a moody charm, hopefully represented in this collection of images.

View from the loft doorway:



A bemusing Gatsby-esque billboard; eye-in-the-sky David Duchovny dangles his cigarette over the street below.

This last photo shows my shadow, the camera, and directionally opposing leashes as I stopped to note the graffiti We Are All One.
