I have taken this photograph few minutes before the sun set. The girl was sitting there in a very relaxed pose, passively observing me as I was taking her photos. She seemed to be interested but the strong sun prevented her from looking directly at me. She seemed to meditate or simply having a reminiscing moment.

One of the favourite past times in Sydney for lunch time is running. You see a lot of joggers passing through various streets and tourist locations. Here a jogger is having a drink of water from a very futuristic water dispenser.

Another beautiful spring day in Sydney. Being able to kick your shoes off, order some lunch and spend a lazy lunch hour in the sun is only too easy. This girl is doing exactly that - having a relaxing lunch break.

Expressive gestures are part of almost every aboriginal dance. They help in imitation of animals or activities the dance represents. Aboriginal street performers also utilise gestures while posing for tourists with utmost effectiveness.

Have you ever been so tired you just had to have a nap?
It did not matter where or how as long as you got some rest. Seems this sleeping man was exactly feeling that, falling asleep in a very busy part of Circular Quay. While he had a good sleep, and while I was taking his photo another photographer with a medium format camera took a whole set of his photographs.

Today, a number of timer posts was replaced at Circular Quay, Pier 1. The unusual activity drew attention of passers by. This man spend quite a lot of time admiring the skill with which the timer posts were placed both by man and machine power. Situations like that are ideal for street portraiture as people are so absorbed with what they are watching the photographer has a lot more time to compose the image and set the exposure to his liking.

This was a very tricky photograph to take. On one hand the man in the centre was illuminated as if he was on a movie stage. His companion on another hand was in full sun making his white shirt next to impossible to capture without clipping.
