Melbourne Candid Series #1160 Swanston St

 


On Swanston Street where shadows lie,
A lady dines beneath the sky,
The clatter fades, the traffic hums,
As camera clicks and stillness comes.

She turns her gaze, both calm and keen,
A moment caught in black and sheen—
One hand rests near a porcelain cup,
The other lifts her silence up.

No words are said, yet eyes confer
A quiet question meant for her:
"Why capture me, in time confined?"
She answers only with her mind.

A city swirls, but she holds still,
Framed by chance, by light, by will.
A stranger’s lens, a fleeting grace
Melbourne breathes in her quiet face.

  1. She is checking you out and looking straight into your camera lens. This makes for a powerful photo. I wonder what she is thinking?

  3. She's seen you. Maybe you could have an exhibition with your photos or put them into a book with the captions.

  6. That's another description for a nice street photo. A nice brainteaser as an accompaniment.

  8. The caption describing your fantastic photography is very beautiful. The B&W of a shot where the woman has a knowing gesture is a success.
    Hugs :)
