Promising location
The bridge over the Milwaukee River on Wisconsin Ave is at the heart of downtown Milwaukee. There are a variety of sights that are familiar to almost everyone who has even passed through on the bridge or Riverwalk Way, but there are also many things that may be overlooked regularly by even the most regular visitors. Gathering a wide variety of obscure and abstracted images from this area I feel I can create a video that is interesting to both people who have been there and people that have no ties with the place whatsoever.
limitations on sound capturing activities
Using a similar approach to the one for light, the sounds gathered should be a mixture of identifiable and abstract sounds. The plan is to record ambiance sounds as well as using the structure of the bridge and other metal objects to gather unique and unidentifiable sounds to and the the sense of rhythm and motion.

Recalled Place
A place I recall with a good deal of memory is right underneath the North side of the 6th Street Viaduct on the West bank of the Menomonee River. There was a unique effect of smoke rolling across the water. I could see this happening even down the curve of the river. I am not sure what was causing it but I assume it had something to do with some of the unusual industrial structures I could see around there. I remember they had some sort of odd shape but I don’t recall exactly what they were…domes perhaps? Next to me, affixed to a kind of concrete pillar at the foot of the bridge was a sign indicating that the area was dangerous because it was a MMSD wastewater overflow point. I think I became so interested in this, and thoughtful about what that meant that I didn’t think anymore about the source of the smoke or the large industrial buildings. There were several ducks and geese around in the smoky water. I recall being disappointed I was recording sound and didn’t have anything to capture an image of the smoke on the water.
