Two men
I have spotted these two men sharing a single bench in Pitt Street Mall. There was an interesting similarity in the way they were sitting and yet there was a world of difference between them. Young, fashionable and what seems to be a very assertive young men in the foreground and in the background and older man in conservative cloths. They both looked somewhere ahead, possibly, simply at people passing by.
This is not technically perfect photo and I was ready to delete it but the captured scene won over the technical aspect.

Impromptu hair salon
I photographed these two Asian girls as they have stopped on the foot path and performed what must have been a 5 minute hair make over for one of them.

Man in keffiyeh scarf
Keffiyeh scarf is an interesting fashion accessory. I have noticed increasing number of young people wearing them around town. It seems a unisex thing and both young man and women ear it.
If you are interested what this scarf is follow this link to Wikipedia: Keffiyeh

Woman with a cigarette
This photograph illustrates the air we have to breath while walking through the streets of Sydney courtesy of smokers. Every few meters people are having a cigarette and in most cases we do not see the smoke even if we may smell its choking fumes. It takes a big of sunlight on the right angle to show how much smoke a person exhales in a single puff.
PS: I know cigarettes are legal but they carry a lot of health warnings about the consequences of smoking them, so where is my right not to have to inhale this hazardous substance?

Plastic bag monster
Plastic bags are recognisable issue when it comes to the environment. They do not degrade quick enough after use and often are the cause of wildlife deaths. Lush, a company which makes reusable bags was running this “Plastic bag monster” campaign in Pitt Street Mall. The reusable bags have been introduced to Australia now few years back but the use of plastic bags is still very high.

Man on a bicycle
I watched in horror as this man on a bicycle, casually crossed a major city intersection on a red light. Sydney drivers are quite careful but this is asking for trouble. I know it is only midday but the sun comes on an acute angle and many drivers would have difficulty seeing him against the sunlight.
