On Swanston Street beneath the sky,
A young man scrolls as strangers pass by.
His eyes are fixed on a glowing screen,
Lost in a world that can't be seen.
Behind him stands a quiet gaze,
An Asian man in the city's haze.
He looks ahead with steady grace,
Unmoved by time, in his own place.
A delivery bike rests by the wall,
Wheels stilled in the evening sprawl.
Moments pause in the city’s hum—
Stories unfold, then swiftly come undone.

You caught good action on this urban street. They both have cameras, but neither one is a street photographer.
ReplyDeleteI did not notice the cameras on the chaps

DeleteUna vez más tu forma de lograr fotografías con dinamismo luce de manera extraordinaria. El byn es marca de la casa.
ReplyDeleteYou are so kind
DeleteAnother well poetically described scene.
ReplyDeleteI could be wrong but it looks like he has a camera around his neck.
ReplyDeleteMomentos de vida en la ciudad . El móvil que no falte.

Good shots :-D
ReplyDeleteBoth urban street walkers are wearing impeccable white sneakers. What a pity the flowers are fake!
ReplyDeleteIt is an interesting photo and shows a nice contrast between the two characters.
ReplyDeleteThree steps by each and it's over. Love the poem.
ReplyDeleteI really love this photo. You capture movement so well. Thank you for sharing with FFO and have a nice weekend.
ReplyDeleteThat's a fitting poem for this shot. I see so many people - young and old - who seem to be lost in their phones and aren't present anymore. It's really sad.
ReplyDeleteHope the person on phone, doesn't stumble.
