A middle-aged man on Hosier Lane,
With cobblestones beneath his stride,
A cap pulled low, sunglasses plain,
He walks where colours dare to hide.
One hand tucked in his coat’s deep fold,
The other swinging free and slow,
Through art-stained walls, both bright and bold,
He moves where silent watchers go.
The city hums, but he walks still,
A shadow shaped by time and will.

Magnificent black and white photograph. The main subject stands out perfectly among the people walking down the street.

Melbourne is quite walkable
DeleteThis fellow looks like he understands something about art, and is taking in the walls of this laneway. He is a good subject for your photo.

DeleteComing and going on cobblestones.
ReplyDeleteI like the footpath a lot. People are more distracted here
DeleteYour humanity is very evident in your ability to identify with a stranger and to take such a sensitive photo of him. Thank you friend. I also enjoy your meaningful comments at my blog. Thank you and Aloha

ReplyDeleteComo ya es habitual tu dominio de la fotografía de calle me parece muy bueno. Utilizas los parámetros adecuados siempre y de ese modo consigues lo que te propones.
ReplyDeleteCon paso seguro se dirije a su destino.
ReplyDeleteFeliz semana.
Hello Roentare :)
ReplyDeleteI really like this shot. The man in the foreground is free to amble leisurely in the middle of the street on the pedestrian way, probably taking in the graffiti as he strolls along.
Beautiful photo... As for the poem?! It's a very visual and mysterious piece — it's like watching a scene from a movie
ReplyDeletenice to have walking street in the city
ReplyDeleteYou blend the two together very well. Always a joy.
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining the Awww Mondays Blog Hop.

He looks like he is struggling a bit.
ReplyDeleteLove these lines: "Through art-stained walls, both bright and bold,
ReplyDeleteHe moves where silent watchers go." The man in the photo certainly grabs your attention.
