Emily the Strange

Emily the Strange
Cape Town has a small subculture of people who love the punk and goth style of dress - and Emily the Strange provides of these folk with some of their awesome gear.

While many people find folk who wear punk- or goth-style clothes strange and even weird, for some reason I find that I more often really them. Most often I find their eccentric demeanor (which in my experience completely contradicts who they really are) strangely attractive.

Perhaps it's exactly that contrast and their different experience of life that I enjoy. Now isn't that strange?

    I too have a strange facination for this sub-culture. I think having grown up in the 1960’s hippy era and having loved the freedom of expression of that time has nutured this love of anyone “different”.

    I must say that I also really enjoy photographing them as well.

    (Only kidding, I know what you mean. :) )
