Photos: Folk In Leith 01 to 05

One of my ongoing projects is photographing my beloved Leith. A strand of this involves the random folk I pass in the street.

The aim – as far as an image can have an aim – is twofold.

Firstly, to snatch glances into the lives of those whose lives are so briefly passing through mine. Secondly, to document the history of the present moment in Leith.

Every week, normally on a Tuesday, I upload a further ten pictures to flickr. So far, five instalments are up, containing photos as listed below. Click on a link if you’re interested!
