Good morning, everyone from the streets, in town
I'm trying to photograph a thing that it's always been there, but I only paid full attention to it lately
and it's that here, in this town, as you can see most of the buildings and houses have no windows
on the sides, they have windows in the front facing the street or the road,
or in the back facing the backyard, but most of them don't have any windows on the sides
and the reason is, I believe, that by law you can't open a window within 10 feet of someone else's property
most pieces of land here are very narrow, what most people end up doing is to max out on the width
otherwise if you have to leave 10 feet on each side of your property, you'll end up having a very narrow house
so what they do is they max out on the width and they install those little holes with glass bricks, I guess they are
they don't let you see through but they let some light through, so that's allowed by the law
that makes for very interesting architecture, it's kind of ugly, but I think it's a very interesting thing
to document and photograph, I've been taking a few photos in the last couple of weeks with my digital cameras
but today I'm out here with my Bronica because I wanted some of those images on film for this project
so I loaded some Retro 400s this morning and I'm out here
it's starting to rain quite a bit, so I'm going to need to get my umbrella out
I'm gonna show you some footage of the Bronica in action and the images that I make with it
and afterwards, I'm gonna show you the images that I've made with my digital cameras as well for this project
I hope you enjoy this video, thank you so much for watching and see you in the next one!
