Taking out the DSLR to capture some shots to highlight the first week of Autumn, proved to be unsuccessful, but street life in Sydney was buzzing.
I guess everyone was celebrating the completion of the first week of university.
Usually I use an Olympus Trip 35mm, (yes film) for my street photography as it is a small & inconspicuous piece of gear that no one gives a second look at. If they do, I look like the perfect tourist :)
Another Day. Another Masterpiece. Another buck.

I walked past this guy when he was about halfway done with the image, (Sydney Harbour Bridge + Opera House). He was meticulous; paintbrush touched the canvas for a few seconds - then look up at the subject – and back down at the canvas - stare at the image for another few seconds - then contact again.
I came back after a few hours and he was still there – but this time with an almost-finished image of the major attractions of Sydney, Australia.
The next generation of feet.

Stopped at a crossing and saw a pair of pudgy little feet in front of me, I think what attracted me to fire off a couple of shots off the hip was the juxtaposition of the baby & adult pair of legs in front of it – I had to compose the image quickly before the red man turned green.
Luckily I got this in one go! The Nikkor 17-55mm f/2.8 is a machine.
Till next time!
