Melbourne Candid Series #952 Acland St

 


Upon the bustling thoroughfare of Acland Street, St. Kilda, there stood two aged riders, their motorbikes gleaming like relics of a bygone era. Engaging in earnest conversation with a venerable elder, they cast shadows long and thoughtful in the afternoon sun. There, amidst the ebb and flow of modernity, history and wisdom interwove, as tales of the road were shared in the language of experience and time.

Indeed, the realm of prize-winning street photography often seems dominated by themes of poverty or the horrors of war. This trend tends to overshadow genuine street photography, which frequently goes unappreciated. It is rather disheartening. I must acknowledge the need to seek out photographers in Melbourne who have a genuine passion for this genre.

It has been over three years since I started this blog, and I never anticipated it would last this long. My previous attempts at creating one ended in failure. A dear friend, who shares my passion for hobbies, once told me that my blog lacked the classic, confrontational candid photography feel. Over time, I noticed that my ambition and skill set have deteriorated. I find myself imitating Instagram-style street photography, which is not truly my forte. I have also succumbed to the popular culture prevalent on social media.

I am now questioning whether this type of "faceless" street photography is really what my readers desire. I would greatly appreciate your comments and feedback.
