Sometimes you do something contrary to the usual.
To be honest street photography is that thing for me at the moment, odd to say but true. Street is the only genre I do for me and the thought of moving from it means in many ways, moving on from photography as anything but a job.
Is it still then a job?
A single trip to Japan last year probably the confirmation, that my street shooting days seemed over.
More specifically though, my street shooting when I do it is usually on the move.
The other style, that of letting the subjects come to a space, a little like a patient spider on a suitably photogenic web, is more likely to get you something predictable but a luxury that is so alien to me, I can literally count my opportunities on the fingers of both hands.
Waiting for Meg at the Eastern end of the Mall in Melbourne, I was attracted to a strong point of reflected light (my favourite light) coming from a building at the opposite end.
The building is the top of the one at the end of the street.
A flat moment looking away from it, but one of only few.
The newer traffic was interesting in its normality, but just my type of thing. The two poles were used to split the frame.
Now from the same spot, looking back into the light.
Light is all. The images are just what they are, regular people being themselves, the light provides the brilliance, drama and clarity.
