Melbourne Candid Series #1120 Collins Arcade

 


Inside Collins Arcade, where shadows play,
A boutique glows in monochrome grey.
A gentleman stands, with a beard so neat,
In silence poised, his ritual complete.

Jars and flasks in orderly row,
Spices and oils with a fragrant flow.
His hands, like echoes of time gone past,
Move with care, deliberate and fast.

He measures, pours, then seals with grace,
As if each condiment held a trace
Of old-world charm and whispered lore,
Within that modest Melbourne store.

The arcade hums with ghostly tread,
Footsteps soft where dreams are fed.
And in that frame of black and white,
He works—a figure bathed in light.

    The black and white imagery just makes it even more timeless. Melbourne really does hide these poetic little moments in plain sight.

  8. The man in the arcade has a large list of items to choose from. Perhaps he had something specific in mind to buy, or perhaps not, and he just wanted to browse the possibilities. That is part of the fun of street photography.
