Melbourne Candid Series #1282 Swanston St

 


Under striped awnings, life queues in grayscale,
Nike dreams and bubble tea trails.
One man scrolls, one man stares,
One carries groceries, one carries cares.

The city hums in monochrome beat
Caffeine, tapioca, tired feet.
Everyone heading somewhere fast,
Together in a moment that will never last.

FE 35mm f1.4 GM

    What a busy street scene with all these people shopping. Bubble tea is mostly lacking around here.

    It seems Mr. Nike is looking for something specific. Meanwhile, life goes on around him, everyone with their own story. Good street photo!

    Y todos están un tanto perdidos. Al igual que este mundo que habitamos.

    Great picture--- I don't think the fellow in the Nike shirt approves of what he sees.

    Everyone is going about their business, something has his attention though.
