@water-weaving's birthday present! His poetry collection, Timeful Motif, is downright turgid with imagery that (by sheer coincidence? serendipity?) evokes the area I live. His springtime birthday happens to work perfectly for the type of shots I think it suggests.
At his request, I've included my rationale behind each shot below the cut here. The idea behind the project was to juxtapose each poem near a visual element that I felt was central to the theme, whether the element is literally present in the poem or not.
Beware!
This one feels a bit voyeuristic to me, so I wanted a skewed angle of a window in the shot. This location is actually an auxiliary school building--the kind where they host special ed and after-school programs, usually--and I felt that the idea of failing to peek through this window to the quiet child and her shrieking toy matched that well.
Passing Through a Small Town on a November Morning
This was the inspiration for the entire project, actually. When I first read this poem (a Patreon release, I believe), I immediately thought of this pedestrian tunnel. This is a heavily-worn handrail on a staircase down to a tunnel that's used mostly by homeless people escaping the rain and teenagers smoking weed--or me, on my morning commute.
Lightworn Iris
The way this wooden fence is clearly well-constructed, but deliberately left "unfinished" for a rustic aesthetic, feels in alignment with the down-slanted viewpoint of the poem. It centers around a kind of wry dismissal of the tragedy at its center, which resolves into a deep ennui. I felt that the careful lashing of specially-selected straight logs here captured that staged surrender.
The Wake
If you're familiar with modern boats, this railing design is probably familiar--this is on an abandoned skiff in an undeveloped corner lot. The boat mostly functions as a garbage can these days, but I liked the idea of this boat just lying dormant, waiting to be saved, and dreaming of the puddle behind it.
Treachery
This small trailer park has long gone to rot; it's been for sale for many years. This is my favorite shot of the bunch, and possibly my favorite poem too. In a beautiful moment of accidental performance art, I caught a vicious stink eye from a man driving by this abandoned lot while I was working on this shot. Pleasant town.
