Creator notes
What works here
Sidewalk-level row shots are the canonical frame. Always ask before photographing a working art installation or anyone on a porch — these are active community spaces, not a set. Visit during open exhibition hours when possible.
Practical

Best time
Late afternoon for warm clapboard light
Lighting
East-facing fronts catch warm morning sun; west sides glow at sunset.
Crowd
Low to moderate; higher during opening events
Parking
Free street parking on Holman; respect neighbors' driveways
