3012 and 3014 P Street.

This was one of the first structures that caught my eye when I started this project several months ago. The contrast of the two homes, one with its front painted white and the other with bare weathered wood, seemed stark and intriguing. I discovered at least one stray cat living on the front porch which was surrounded by empty cans of cat food. The back yard was full of debris. This included the remains of a mattress that had been absorbed by a tree and appeared like a fence around the back corner of the yard. These were two small and simple homes but for some reason I found them quite beautiful.

Sanctuary on 29th Street.

(Im always hearin' voices on the street.)

The building pictured in the bottom photo was at one point, long ago, a pool hall. It is attached to the building on the corner of the block that seems to have been some sort of shop, likely a market, drugstore or florist. The whole complex now sits silent. I love it.
