not just you
but a lover's camera
poses everything:
from the pack of longbeach 20s
crushed into the stone wall
to the city-sanctioned fernery
with its green rattle of spring,
or the toddler with an inevitable
ice-cream smile
a bystander pointing out
landmarks
and the mass of school uniforms
bottled up at ATMs
- even the buildings lean
to get in shot.

Excellent piece, Ashley has an incredible ability to get down to street level and show you things you would otherwise have passed without notice. And then force you to look again.
