Making the best out of the very warm, late autumn day this shirtless man walked through the Sydney CBD totally oblivious to the looks he received from office workers.

Here is a man who seems to have passion for his job. He is the florist from the Martin Place. Whenever I pass this stall I can see him arranging flowers and he always seems to be very absorbed in the task.

Here I am back at the chess in the park scene. The place attracts so many interesting people I can hardly stay away from them. Here are some of the regular spectator / advisers, I have called them the three wise man as they knew what every one should do next.

The place attracts quite a lot of photographers who seem to like the atmosphere and the people there. The game is so absorbing no one pays attention to the photographers, which is great.

Ultimate technique for a street photographer is to be so inconspicuous and so obvious that no one pays you any attention as if you were invisible. Well as you can tell form this image I have failed on this occasion 100%. The girl with the cigarette was obviously uncertain of what I was doing and why. However her scrutiny did not go as far as to question me, which happens from time to time.

Curious reflections of windows

Curious reflections of windows

I have noticed a very peculiar pattern or rather patters the reflections of windows of this office tower produced. We think of windows as rather perfectly flat and uniform and yet if you look at these reflections it is very clear there are significant variations between the quality of each individual window.

Perhaps one of the visitors here can explain this phenomenon.

PS: I have changed the colour scheme for this website to something a lot brighter to celebrate upcoming second anniversary of operations of the “Digital Photo Gallery” website. I hope you like it.

This woman was selling The Big Issue magazine. Nothing unusual about it. What has struck my attention however was the space around her. She was an island among the crowd of the Pitt Street Mall.

You often see a musician in the street trying to make a dollar or two. Often it is a saxophone of violin player. Today there was an older Asian musician with his cello in the George Street.
