Last year I went to Portland Or, or maybe it was two years ago. I rented a bike and rode around the east side. I was amazed at how much I felt I could learn from just photographing the exterior of peoples homes and their yards. A couple weeks ago, I tried to reproduce something similar by riding my bike from downtown San Jose to where my wife's parents live. Basically, I rode down Monterey Expressway (I think thats what its called). This kind of stuff makes me think of William Eggleston's work. His show at SF Moma was amazing. I watched a documentary about him too. It seemed like he often wandered around aimlesly trying to put a rectangle around his surroundings, producing great images in the process. Anyways, here are a couple photos from that bike ride. Hope to do more.
