Mr Johnson with his green grocer shop

1 November 2010

This is Mr Johnson, standing in his green grocer shop in Colombo Street in Nov 2010. What I love about this image is that there is the same image from 1976, on your discovery wall and it has him with his parents and brother in it. Nothing has really changed in this shop apart from the people. What an amazing place it was... after the earthquakes he moved to the Re:start mall. He was such a lovely, kind gentleman. One of a kind. I gave him this photo of him as a present in 2012 and he put it up on his shop wall...
