Melbourne Candid Series #1275 Swanston St

 


King of the pram, one hand on the wheel,
the other on life’s never-ending deal;
sale signs shout and footpaths stream,
but bub just surveys the grayscale scene.

Dad rolls steady, beard set firm
CEO of naps and snack-term;
in a city sprinting two-for-one,
he pushes tomorrow in the sun.

  1. Daddy's more concerned with his phone than with the baby's safety.

  2. I like the word, "pram" here in the US we call it a stroller. Very nice photo.

  5. A touching image. The father seems more asleep than the little girl, who doesn't seem to want to sleep at all.

  7. Nothing better than a day out with Dad. I see he is going a bit of window shopping. Fine street photo.

  11. The baby girl is more interested in the real world than the dad. It's quite sad how phones have taken over our lives.
