VOICES OF OUR COMMUNITY THROUGH BRIAN’S EYES In the summer of 2017, a handful of Denver VOICE vendors participated in a photography workshop led by Dave Thatcher of Picture Me Here. After learning how to frame a shot and tell a story with an image, the vendors received a free disposable camera and the opportunity to publish photos in our August 2017 issue. Brian Augustine’s photos are centered around two areas where he spent much of his time: the South Pearl Street Farmers Market and the 16th Street Mall. CREDIT: GILES CLASEN SOUTH PEARL STREET FARMERS MARKET “This is the end of the farmers market, and the end of my day. When it’s over I do traffic control.” BRIAN’S MORNING VENDING SPOT “Start of the workday. It just struck me as a really good picture, the lighting and everything. It felt like the start of a good day.” 16TH STREET MALL “It was a peaceful morning. It gets so busy down there that sometimes you don’t recognize the beauty.” SOUTH PEARL STREET FARMERS MARKET “All the people at the South Pearl Street Farmers Market are friendly.” 16TH AND CURTIS STREETS, LOOKING UP AT INDEPENDENCE PLAZA BUILDING “The reflection of the clock tower in this building reminded me of mechanical monkeys you see in the movies.” 10 DENVER VOICE February 2023
