Upon the path where none need heed,
No rushing wheels, no steely steed.
A young man walks with head bowed low,
His gaze entranced in screen-lit glow.
Behind him trail, in measured pace,
Two ladies lost in mirrored grace.
Through silent streets their footsteps fall,
Yet none look up—no glance at all.

Through streets of gold where merchants call,
She wandered light ‘neath evening’s thrall.
With weary gaze and laden hands,
She left behind the bustling stands.
And as my shutter caught the scene,
Her eyes shut soft, lost in between.
Through heavy glasses, she turned away,
A fleeting ghost of spent-out day.

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.

His shirt resembled a splash of art—vivid, expressive, and striking. Yet, I recalled observing him as he directed his gaze toward a lady passing by along the footpath.
It's intriguing how attire can mirror one's inner world. A garment adorned with bold strokes and vibrant hues speaks volumes about the wearer's persona—perhaps a reflection of a creative spirit or a desire to stand out amidst the mundane.

Typically, the people of India harbor a fervent passion for cricket. It is quite uncommon, however, to encounter an ardent admirer of football among them. Yet, the scarf he wears proclaims his allegiance unmistakably.

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.
