I met my walking partner at 3:30 at Roosevelt School. There were children, buses, and parents everywhere. As we walked, we saw other people out with their dogs, sitting on porches and enjoying the sunlight. It was a truly beautiful day in Mason City with a strong breeze and a burning sky.
This is a neighborhood made up of small, rectangular homes-most single story and with painted siding. One house stood out because its windows and front yard had been transformed into a memorial for a person named Zach. I debated whether or not to photograph this house. When does noticing become an invasion of privacy? When does not noticing become apathy and indifference? Finally I decided to take a picture and a strange thing happened to the aperture on my camera. Here is the house, framed by shadows. I hope and pray the family here is experiencing healing and an alleviation of grief.
