Wellington street photographer Mary Hutchinson is inspired by the idea of being “a voice for the unfamous people”.
A biker wearing a skeleton mask roars past a Charcoal Chicken shop. Two men wearing shades edge around a man lying on a street corner. A group of Hare Krishnas sing and play instruments as they dance, one carrying an amplifier.
These are three of many moments frozen in time by photographer Mary Hutchinson on Cuba St, perhaps Wellington’s most-wandered street – and certainly its coolest.
