Richard Miles
Newsagency, deli, paper round delivery, seafood seller, purveyor of old-school local quality fruit and vegetables, bread, pies, cards, cigarettes, gifts and at its utmost – a place where you are known!
How to define Richard’s newsagency is definitely not straightforward. It’s an institution on Angaston’s main street. A place where locals come for the staple items a newsagency provides, but also to pick up something from the eclectic mix that Richard has on offer.
Mostly though, Miles’ Newsagency feels like a place where you are known, and time for a chat is always given priority. No doubt you’ll run into someone else you know, and likewise, catch up.
Richard’s newsagency is a valuable gem, and it is unfortunate that such establishments are becoming less prevalent. They represent a harmonious blend of genuine customer service, community care and engagement.
WORDS & PHOTOGRAPHY
PETE THORNTON what pete shot
A ‘mostly’ portrait and ‘brief’ interview series by professional photographer Pete Thornton exploring the idea that one image has the power to tell the whole story.
Each ‘sitter’ suggests the next person to be photographed in this series, and thus ensues an interesting and unknown trail of Barossa identities to come.
Stay tuned… Pete
The series so far
Quenten Agius
A husband, a father, a grandfather, a local, a footballer, a teacher, a mate, a storyteller.
Marcus Schulz
On his Ebenezer family property ‘Primrose’ where vigneron Marcus Schulz grew up and still lives and works, stands a characterful relic of our past… A rustic timber and thatched straw roof shed.
