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.

Cycling is more than just a mode of transportation or a leisurely activity; it's a fantastic way to boost your overall health and well-being. Whether you're cycling to work, taking a weekend ride through the countryside, or hitting the trails for some adventure, the benefits of cycling are abundant and accessible to people of all ages and fitness levels.

I know this is not a candid street shot. I did this for a client many years ago. 

She is pretty from Peru.

St Kilda, a vibrant and eclectic suburb of Melbourne, is a must-visit destination for both locals and tourists alike.

This area has changed a lot over the years. The parking metres are now using app to pay for parking fees. No coins and no credit card facilities. The website for payment is often down for weeks at a time. This may be a conspiracy of local councils to scoop a large number of fines for their fat pockets!
