Melbourne Candid Series #981 Little Flinders Lane - Cucina

It is the same shop as featured in yesterday's post. The lady bears a peculiar expression, as if something tasted amiss. In this modern age, women are said to be more employed and independent than men.

It's fascinating to consider how societal roles have evolved over time. The notion that women are now more employed and independent than men reflects a significant shift in the economic and social fabric of our times

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.
