Walking Every Street in Albany: Sprocket Holga on the Frontage Roads

26th August 2009, 08:00 am

Last weekend we continued our project to walk every street in Albany, CA. The walk included the freeway frontage roads along Interstate 80. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but the walk turned out to be an interesting intersection of traffic, industry, and commerce with a few forgotten creeks flowing here and there. The images below were photographed using 35mm film in a Holga medium format toy camera. Bonus points if you get the reference in image #4. Keep pressing the button and smiling!

      Regarding #4:

      I got it! I was first. Yeaaaa for me…

      (Hint: December, 2003 at the Lionheart) Is that correct?

      Super pix; love the rendering.

      Would be cool if some could be hacked into Google’s Street View database…

      Andy – you got it.

      Brad – Unfortunately my Holga doesn’t store metadata. :)

      Will you and Jen walk every street in the East Bay?!

      Georgia – Every Street in Albany was a natural extension to Berkeley because of the proximity to where we live. Once the Albany project has been completed, which will take about 2 more long walks, we’ll be focusing on Jen’s Car-Free Outdoors project.
