Pleasant Street
These pictures were made while living on a sailboat, traveling slowly down the east coast from Rhode Island to Florida, visiting fifty-three small towns over one-hundred and nine days.
Just before the trip I came across Ernest Hood’s Neighborhoods in an unassuming record bin. The record drew me in with a painting of a general store and the title Neighborhoods in large swirly letters on the cover. On the back are song titles like “Saturday Morning Doze,” “At The Store,” “August Haze,” and “The Secret Place.” Neighborhoods is an ambient record comprised of slow synthesizer melodies, long strums of zither, and field recordings of insects, screen doors, dogs, children, and cars. These songs feel like short stories that make up a whole, and the whole is a sleepy transmission from one fictional small town. In the liner notes, Hood states, “It hardly matters in which neighborhood you sprouted. The games we played, the mocks, the terminology and the feelings we experience as youngsters are tantalizingly familiar.”
