House hunting. I drive, I drive a lot.
People ask me how I find my pictures. I tell them I drive around. I drive and drive and I mostly don't findanything that is interesting to me. But then, something calls out. Something that looks sort of off or maybe an empty space. Sometimes it's a sad scene. I like that kind of stuff. So I take the photos and some are good. And so I keep driving and looking and taking pictures.
"Just looking". Story by A.M. Homes
This is the place where something happened.
Things went wrong.
There are marks, traces, pieces left behind-evidence.
He drives at night looking for comfort, reading street signs - One Way,Yield, Stop, as though they might tell him something - what to do next.
He prowls looking.
He drives at night looking for the light that signals somebody's home.
He looks for the shade pulled down - he doesn't want to see too much.
There is pleasure in not knowing.
He drives at night looking for a vacancy, an empty castle, four walls and a roof, a place to hole up, to lie down, to lay low.
House hunting.
