150mm f2 

This old system of four third cost me tons of money. Within a year of purchase, Olympus makes the system invalid switching to micro four third. I remembered I was so angry at the time

Three noble patrons, seated upon the side benches of a vendor's humble stand, within the market halls of Box Hill Central. Their presence graced the air with a quiet charm, as the day's commerce flowed around them in a harmonious dance

Melbourne Candid Series #999 Melbourne Central

 

Upon these streets where souls do meet, In endless streams they place their feet, From every realm, all walks of life, They weave together, joy and strife.

With varied dreams and paths they've known, They tread the stones of urban throng, In this grand tapestry, untold, Their tales of wonder now unfold.

So rich the chorus, sweet and grand, Of life’s own symphony, unplanned, In streets where countless lives convene, A timeless dance, a living scene.

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.

Through the bustling avenues of time, an Oriental gentleman, in trousers checkered with dots confined, Strolled with an Oriental maiden, wind coat aflutter behind, Their steps, a graceful dance, in rhythm with life's chime.

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.
