I must admit I am often fascinated with sub cultures and youth trends. In recent years piercing took quite a center stage and many young people have some piercings starting from multiple ear studs, via tongue, lip, nose and eyebrow to more esoteric back of the neck studs. It looks painful and I guess it is painful. This young man allowed me to take his portrait near Sydney Town Hall. Thank you.
I’ve met these two strange characters today at the Pitt Street Mall. They spoke with a funny accent and had their pets with them. They threw “doodacki” at me and I’ve said watch your language. Somehow I did not expect back to get a vegimite sandwich.
Yep, a couple of lost sheep, oops, kiwis in the middle of Sydney.
Seriously these blokes were working hard promoting a competition with main prize being the trip to New Zealand. Go check it out http://www.talkkiwi.com
Curtis Flying
Curtis trying again.
Curtis stacking again. Ouch.
This is Curtis, a skateboarder I’ve met today at the infamous Martin Place pit. I have to stress I consider what these young men are doing extremely dangerous as there is simply no place to land their jumps. Never the less I also admire the determination and courage with which Curtis was trying over and over to land his trick. I’ve watched him for close to 20 minutes and his pain after some of the stacks was rather obvious. This is certainly and Xtreme sport
It was a hot and a humid day today. Hardly a weather for walks and photography. However it proved quite rewarding for me and I was able to capture quite a few interesting scenes including this one where two men are sipping beer on a balcony and are watching the world go by. I must say that cold beer looked very attractive.
Both, this Chinese lady and I were very surprised when this giant bubble flew out of nowhere between us. I would not want it bursting on my lens as there are a lot of additives in the mixture for the bubbles and some of them are very sticky.
