Melbourne Candid Series #149

 


Beach Road, St Kilda

Lately I received some nasty comments about my noisy imperfect B+W photos. Some even asked me to use proper camera gear too.


To me, I went through different life crisis or drama. These photos were my ways to distract myself from other inevitable mundane matters. The poor resolution or back focusing of the gear actually take me to those time too. 

Honestly most of these posted images on this blog were sitting in a forgotten hard disc. Like most of us, these were often lost images that one cannot get this memory back, good or bad.

Gossips and chitchats are fun for most of us. 

I enjoy a random banter with my friends too

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.

Oops, nearly exposing the sensitive part of the body. Federation Square.


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.
