Antigua Street Photography

_Marge_ retrogrades lazily towards the hills; Her name, printed the width of her cab-over dinette In crinkled cobalt cursive, Totters eccentrically as her handbrake fails. SNAP-AP Oblivious to errant camper vans (and centripetal forces in general), Barney speeds maniacally along a deserted city street; Golden coated and joyously poochie, His tongue flabbers as fast as his bicycle courier dad can pedal. SNAP-AP-AP Mr Blue buys buckets at Bunnings To match his cerulean suit and shinier-than-shiney satin shirt; Periwinkle rhinestone shoes carry him unabashedly passed the second glances and sideways looks; There goes the best dressed DIY-er in town…don’t ya know. SNAP-AP-AP-AP

Oh, and that’s Antigua Street photography not Antigua street photography. :)

‘I only know how to approach a place by walking. For what does a street photographer do but walk and watch and wait and talk, and then watch and wait some more, trying to remain confident that the unexpected, the unknown, or the secret heart of the known awaits just around the corner?’

- Alex Webb
