The Adventures of Solomon Spiderman

LATELY JAMES TOWN HAS BEEN BRIMMING with all kinds of creativity. While taking photos in the cool urban fishing community this week, we ran into a teenager with a lovely imagination.

We met 15-year-old Solomon Ayitey sauntering around the neighborhood in his Spiderman costume and cracking jokes with middle-aged ladies. He stopped to pose and show us what James Town is made of. This made us wonder…what would a Kwaku Ananse costume look like?!

Somebody really needs to get on that one.
