208 Worcester St.- Milk bottles and payment, 1980s

1980s

This boarding house stood on the Worcester St/Barbadoes St corner. Driving past I noticed an elderly man sitting on the veranda in the sun. He sat like a statue while I took his photo. I even got in really close to snap his milk bottles. A few days later I returned and gave him some prints. Only then did he smile. The building is no longer there following the earthquakes.
