This is my first draft of photos toward "my coffee table book" on The Story of the Sweet Water Fish Vegetable Farm... Created in an old industrial building in Bay View Milwaukee, Not far from the site of the Bay View Massacre during The struggle for the 8 hour day back in the 1880s. These 80 or so pictures capture the first three months of the Sweet Water experiment, Two months of studying Will Allen's aquaculture methods, meeting, and planning, And one month of intense and astonishingly productive labor, i.e. Four roughly 50 ft. by 6 ft. by 6 ft. trenches carved through 7 inches of concrete and 6 ft. of clay, Below ground framing for the pond liners, above ground structures for the plant platforms, And the removal of about 400 ft. by 7 ft. of painted over, broken, and boarded over wire reinforced windows. The pictures also capture images of the key actors of this hope-filled drama at work. In time names and prose will be provided, along with pictures of the months that followed. Here's best prose on the Sweet Water Story to date: http://bayviewcompass.com/archives/1205 Cold Summer Day Milwaukee -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
