What's my impression?
A circus.
Oh why so harsh.... again? Well, maybe I am just critical by nature. Little Five Points is basically a neighbourhood where people come here to see and to be seen. People of different sub cultures, like hiphop, hippies, goths, bikers and heavy metal dudes, cute and uncute chicks, homies..... People here seem to really know their place, like this is "their thing". Well, to me, this is just like the Cabbagetown, or a smaller version of a place like Portland. This is just a stage for desperate people to show that they are something. The big question is, where do they go when the curtain sets?
Well, I guess everyone struggles to find a stage, whether you are Michael Jackson or an office boy trapped in your own cube. To me, this is just another representation of consumerism where cultures are exploit by lost individuals until the point where they can't squeeze any more out of it, then they move on, to another subculture that makes them feel like something again. Me as a photographer and an visitor will always be glad to find places like this. Because it's a place to see and be seen, there's something for everyone.
