I love the Ward. I am absolutely certain that I am not expressing a particularly original position. Lots of people love the Ward. Many more who grew up there love it in ways that we, the outsiders, cannot possibly understand. Doesn't matter. I love it too. Every time I go down expressly to make pictures I see something new. Perhaps because I do not live in the Ward I bring new eyes to the experience whenever I go visiting. Who knows? What I do know is that I love trolling around down there and making pictures, anytime of year.
