PHOTOGRAPHER'S JOURNAL:
Herring Shack Passage
To anyone else, a noxious place,
to the grunge-seeking photographer,
an arcade of mysteries.
Who shares my noisome shadows?
From what corners do their red eyes shine?
I advance into dim light, and
the passage swells to a gallery.
Cracks and breaches
illuminate raw wood,
the aroma ripens,
panels scratched and bespattered are lit and ready to be deciphered.
What sculptured idols does each new gallery hold?
What incantations scar the ancient wood?
What dark magic might not thrive here?
NOTE: Once again ONE New England is featuring one of my photos on the front cover. This is a great online mag for those interested in what's what around New England. http://www.onenewengland.com/

It's amazing how all these became empty... and that feeling you catch in the pictures...
Yes, it is almost as if the use of the space is kind of casual. Nothing is crowded, and one might think the barrels had been sitting untended for years.
