Off Bourke Street Mall,
she sits upon a steel bench,
an elderly Asian woman,
hands clasped firm upon her bag
as though it were a small anchor.
Her gaze drifts outward,
past the restless river of shoes,
the tide of passing strangers
that rises, breaks, and folds again.
Behind her, the bench gleams cold;
before her, the city surges on.
She waits in her stillness,
a quiet figure rooted,
while the world keeps hurrying by.

Your photo has a wonderful urban feel, complete with begging pigeon. This dignified lady might be just taking a break from shopping, or she might be waiting for a bus, but she knows what she is doing and is comfortable with her choices.
ReplyDeleteYour description is very fitting for the image Jeff
DeleteUn encuadre muy bien resuelto situando a la anciana detrás de esos tres bolardos y metiendo dentro del visor de la cámara, a las personas que circulan por detrás de ese banco. De esa forma se consigue una sensación de tercer plano muy interesante .
