Lauren and I lived on Oxford Street in Berkeley for about 4 years. Times were really tough for most of that. We took a lot pictures. We had this window looking out over Oxford Street, and right across from us we had this greenhouse-plant laboratory sort of place that belonged to the University. They had the same big Metal Halide lights that serious pot growers use, which I thought was kinda funny. They also had a bonafide cornfield right across the street from where we lived. Lauren and I must’ve watched a dozen and a half crops come and go. One benefit of the cornfield just across the way was we had a bit more “view of sky” than one had any right to expect from an apartment so low on the Hill. These are some shots from different times I took in 2003, sticking my head out the bedroom window, or else loitering on the fire escape too long, in Poetic Denial of my Life. LOL.

These pictures have not been digitally enhanced nor modified in any way. They are not the greatest images ever taken, by any means. The composition was often intruded upon by telephone poles and power lines, as you will see. They are, however, the record of a view we felt very luck to have, during a time when we needed the inspiration. Anyway, hope ya like.
