Mud-splattered house - Portland Grid Project

            This one is from a couple grids ago, February's to be precise.  This grid, H5, straddled Hwy 30 just east of the St. Johns Bridge.  It was an odd grid, with off-limits natural gas plants in one part, Forest Park in another, and a small patch of residential neighborhood tucked away like an afterthought.  I am not sure what it must be like to live on Hwy 30.  It seems like it would be noisy and dirty and backing out of your driveway must require a specific sort of nerve, but there are a few dozen homes found along this stretch.  Many of them are a block or so off of the highway itself, but several are right up on it, like this one.  I am not sure what story of action and violence this splattered mud is a remainder of, but it caught my eye as I walked along the short stretch of highway that enjoys a sidewalk.  I was testing out a Canon AF35M from the shop that day and had loaded it with some Lomochrome Metropolis film.  The camera was potentially faulty and the film has not proven a favorite of mine, so I was allowing myself plenty of liberty in snapping off shots and not taking my usual slow, methodical, careful approach.  It is nice to change it up now and then, just as the Grid Project has been nice in getting me off my beaten paths and into some other areas of Portland I do not explore much.
