Traveller’s Laundromat 24 Hour Laundry, 458 Karangahape Road, Auckland. Yes, I was accosted by working girls when I took this picture. And a plain clothes officer’s police car stopped nearby.
An abandoned four story building with smashed windows and graffiti looks beyond repair. The bottom is an active carpark but above the first floor looks more like it belongs in war torn Beirut.

One of Auckland’s homeless playing a harmonica for bus money to Ponsonby. This photo was taken on new year’s day, about 6am on lower Queen Street. He was friendly and in good spirits “I’m just grateful they left me in peace” he said about the raucous party people celebrating throughout the night.
