Melbourne Street Photography 101 is a black and white photo blog to encompass the candid photography in streets of Melbourne. Street people photography
An interesting photo and the gentleman is a good focal point. It is very sad to see these stores go. I remember the small family-run shops in my childhood, and they all closed because of the larger supermarkets coming into the area. Progress? Maybe but I miss those days of the friendly greengrocer and their ilk.
When I was in primary school, I used to love running to milk bars locally. For all things naughty and sweet. Now they are pretty much extinct from the city.
...there are lots of struggling businesses here.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant photo.

ReplyDeleteI like this photo, how the diagonals converge to a vanishing point, how well it's done.
ReplyDeleteBest regards
I hate it when local businesses are hurting.
