yeoman's service

Antanas Sutkus, from The Daily Life Archives 1959-1993 (Lithuania).  I love the sense of action implied in this photo: the street tilting at a crazy angle, the people all heading in the same direction toward some event, the woman leaning out to get a better view or perhaps to call out to someone below.  I want to warn her not to fall.  A photographer with his roots in photojournalism, Sutkus has been dedicated throughout his career to capturing the people of his native Lithuania as the country around them changes.  The V&A has a small selection of other excellent photographs by him here.
