Melbourne Candid Series #1180 Collins St

 


Down Collins Street he strode,
beard bristling in the city’s glow,
both hands laden with goods,
each step a wide unhurried claim
upon the pavement’s grey expanse.

Great earphones crowned his head,
a private orchestra unheard by all,
yet his stride kept perfect time,
a rhythm only he could hear,
a march through Melbourne’s bustle.

Shoppers glanced, the trams rolled on,
but he—self-contained, unfaltering
carried his burdens like trophies,
a solitary figure,
moving to music of his own.

  1. I see he is wearing a scarf of his favorite sports team as well as a tee shirt from his favorite band. He is a walking advertisement for what he likes. Another great street shot.

  2. Great photo but I'm laughing at the outfit he's wearing.

  3. It's easy to see they were walking at a fast pace. And one of them was watching the photographer. Nice shot!

    1. I don't hide taking shots at the streets. The best way is to do so in front of them immediately
