Malden Mills
Combing through my catalog this morning, I stumbled across this shot, taken from the top of the Water Tower this past summer. It is a shot overlooking the Malden Mills (originally Arlington Mill) in Lawrence. I’m not posting it simply because I love it. I’m posting it as a memorial, of sorts.
I have shot in Malden Mill’s yard a lot over the past couple of years, and inside a couple of the buildings. It was one of my favorite places to shoot.
I drove past it last week to find it is now ringed with temporary fence, indicating that construction is under way. I believe the complex is being converted to apartments.
It’s a little sad knowing I won’t be able to shoot there any more. But progress is good. I’m glad I got what I got out of Malden Mills.
