Assistants and Archives


After an exhaustive search I've found my two teaching assistants. I feel confident in my selections. They are both eager and willing and they seem to have a good understanding of what's expected of them. Most importantly they are a wonderful match and the method should prove very fruitful.

Task one was research. One of them came across this archival photo of the house circa 1913.


The House, Exterior, East Facing




This was filmed a while ago in order to record a sense of place and gain an understanding of context, both of which are essential when immersing oneself completely in a discovery.
Never forget the source.

A Discovery.

A wonderful and disturbing day. Several compelling artifacts found (serendipitously) in an abandoned house, long condemned, at 27 Edgedale Road, not far from my current residence. I am certain this will prove to be one of the strangest, most captivating cases of Urban Distortion to date. I must first sort through these artifacts in order to properly detail this find, and details will follow in short order, I assure you. However, I felt that this case would merit full documentation throughout my investigation. I endeavour to keep these journals as a means of creating an archive from a less academic, more personal point of view.

This is a test. This is a test.
