Melbourne Candid Series #129

 


De Graves St has the most overpriced cafe food in the city. It also oozes that noir feeling along the laneway.

This camera has a very sad sensor. Somehow, I like that worn out look though.

Without working, I lack incentive to go out getting contents for the blog. With working, I struggle to have time for the blog. Always a dilemma.

The last one of the lot in the parade. The crowd is not allowing me to access to the actual performers. Still fun to get a few along the way.

I just love her costume like what an Egyptian Queen would have worn 

By now, I have learnt from my Spanish blogger friends that these costumes are of central American origins. Mybe the festival parade should be labelled as "Latin Parade".

Brunswick St Northcote

Someone explained to me why a lot of people don't love wearing masks: westerners love eye masks and oriental wear masks that cover the mouth like Ninjas!

This is a beginning of posting on the Spanish parade thing

I thought waving a fan is more of an asian thing though.

He was very tall. He was mumbling a lot in his jockey gear. He was not busking. He was just pacing himself in a circle...

At Dockland, wake boarding competition can be so much fun. However, this district is considered a failure in modern Melbourne development 


This picture was taken by an old four third system which is ditched quickly by Olympus. I was so mad for so long when the company did that!

Older camera sensor has low pixel count and poor contrast in rendering. These lycra materials are best seen in black and white!
