The Spot Sequence series ran 2008-09 on Or, Notices (I think we called ourselves Siege of Derry in that period). When Knnth & I moved to the westside in the middle of '09, my patterns of movement shifted, and I no longer passed the spot on a consistent basis. Somewhere, perhaps on my old phone or tucked in some electronic folder, there are spot photos snapped after May 2009. I dithered over them from time to time but never felt at ease with them as continuations of the sequence. Following my initiation of the Picture Window series in May 2010, I ceased to worry about the Spot Sequence, feeling as though the new series, though different in its conception and execution, adequately compensated for the derelict sequence. All but the initial photos of the Spot Sequence included both the trash bin and the lamp. This, in fact, became the central criteria or condition for the photos. With the recent discovery that the lamp has been cut down and removed, I feel compelled to mark formally the series' conclusion. A new lamp has been erected on the opposite side of the path just to the south west of the spot. In fact, I snapped an image of it recently without noticing the status of the spot's lamp, which perhaps had already been removed at that time.
