Harris Avenue – 2020

September 2, 2020 by A. Cemal Ekin

Harris Avenue runs by the rail tracks in Providence. It has very little traffic and even in the days of Covid-19, it is a reasonably safe place to visit. Jan and I were the only pedestrians on the street and very few cars went by while we photographed the same wall once more.

The Wall on Harris Avenue

Some faces on the wall have faded, even more, paint running like bad make-up. A few large pieces remained, albeit with less vivid colors. And, there were new additions to the collection on the wall, or Off The Wall as I called the post last time.

The weather was iffy, overly cloudy and the threat of rain lingered in the back of our minds all the while. We walked up and down the wall picking our frames. I took several panoramic views for later stitching but forgot to take a large number of the same view shots for an experiment of stacking them for super-res.

After we returned home, I rushed back to Harris Avenue to take 20 or so shots of the same frame but later I found the idea lacking, or maybe my skill in implementing it. The expected super-resolution did not materialize in a meaningful manner.

As I got in the car a second time around, it started to sprinkle. I still managed to get home just a little ahead of the rain.

Here are some selections from Jan’s collection.

    What a feast for the eyes and camera. Infinite possibilities. I just captured some images of some older painted over graphics. I’ll have to post some on Cluster. I’ll have to get out and look for this spot of yours!

      Thanks, Bill. You will enjoy that spot with ICM possibilities too. Let’s see some on Cluster.

      Traveling around, Haluk. Just be careful! Yes, it was a fun experience and we will probably do it again. Stay tuned!

    Really enjoyed seeing these. Always liked the weathered effect of pealing paint, wood and paper and the theme of erosion. Took a series of driftwood washed up by the shore awhile back. the artwork, transformed by nature, takes on its own life- independent of what the original artist created, but very engaging.

      David, thanks for stopping by. Welcome to Kept Light! This is how “time” paints, with rust, erosion, corrosion, but in an eventually kinder way. Harris Ave. can be a productive destination.

      Take care,

      Cemal

      Louise, Harris Ave. is a quiet road. You may want to spend some time there to see what will grab your attention. There is very little traffic, both vehicular or pederstrian. We are glad that you enjoyed the virtual visit.
