Waiting for the milkman
An elderly man waiting for his milk delivery on Worcester Street.
Contributor's note: "This boarding house stood on the Worcester Street/Barbadoes Street 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."
Highly commended: 2013 Christchurch City Libraries Photo Hunt.
Judge's comment: "This collection takes us into the experience of walking past the house and observing the lost ritual of putting the milk bottles out for the milkman."
