entry description
The neighbourhood corner store was once a colourful and vibrant hallmark of typical suburban life. Stores were more than just economic hubs, they were social by nature. People knew their local shopkeepers, and shopkeepers knew their customers. I photographed this 130-year-old corner store at the outback town of Broken Hill – which features the old Shelley’s Cordial sign – as a colourful and awe-inspiring hallmark for the community that surrounds it.back to gallery
