Melbourne Candid Series #1015 Swanston St


Upon his brow, the shadows lay,
As if the night had stolen day.
His weary eyes, so dim, so worn,
Like stars that fade before the morn.

One glance might guess, with softened sight,
He’s wrestled long against the night.
Yet here he stands, though frail and deep,
A soul adrift on tides of sleep.

Melbourne Candid Series #1013 Swanston St

 


Upon the green by knowledge grand,
A lively crowd takes rest at hand.
With meals in lap and laughter bright,
They bask beneath the noon’s warm light.

The books stand tall in silent keep,
As voices dance and moments steep.
A midday pause, so free, so fair,
As life and learning breathe the air.

In garb of rare and wondrous thread,
She walks, with grace and beauty spread.
A fashion all her own, distinct,
Where style and elegance are linked.

Melbourne Candid Series #1005 Royal Arcade Collins St

 


She carried a great many garments, though the air was not so cold as to warrant such burden.

Stepping forth from the Royal Arcade, she moved with measured pace, her footsteps falling upon a floor patterned like a checkerboard, its polished surface gleaming beneath the soft glow of morning light.

Melbourne Candid Series #1004 The Cause Way

 


Amidst the dim glow of the tavern’s bulbs, a man sat in quiet repose. A well-worn leather jacket draped his shoulders, its creases telling stories of time and wear.

Before him, a glass of amber liquid caught the light.

He neither spoke nor acknowledged the murmured conversations around him—lost in the silent communion between drink and thought. And the phone.

Melbourne Candid Series #1002 Hopetoun Tea Room, Collins Arcade

 


In a quaint abode, by gentle light, Where cakes abound, a sweet delight, The air is filled with sugar’s grace, A charming, cozy, quaint embrace.

The flavors dance, a merry troupe, On tongues that savor every scoop, With every bite, joy’s sweet unfold, A tale of bliss in crumbs retold.

So come, partake, and time delay, In this fair haven, softly stay, Where cakes, like dreams, all worries chase, And leave a smile upon your face.

Indeed, I had not directed my focus upon them until their reaction drew my attention. I then decided to capture an image. My endeavor at that moment was to hone the technique of panning with moving automobiles.
