There was something certainly artistic about this couple sitting on the window seal of the Arthouse Hotel.

Arthouse
by Ted Szukalski |Conversation and fist
by Ted Szukalski |
Often in street photography the captured moment is very abstract, as the photographer may not know what the “actual” situation is. The capture is purely visual frozen moment. Take this photograph for example of three people having conversation in the middle of the street. The focal point seems to be the man’s reaction to some story presented by the woman on the right and her fist gesture in the air. This is further emphasized by observatory look the woman on the left gives the man. He seems to be tense, and it is not only expressed in his face but also by uneasy positioning of his hands.

Man begging on his knees in Martin Place
by Ted Szukalski |
Begging for money is a common sight in Sydney these days. Anyone who follows my blog knows I photograph these people often, usually sitting against some wall disconnected from the world around them and hoping for a coin or two. Charity organisation warn against giving money directly to these people and donating to charities, which help the real needy. This was recently highlighted when one of the career beggars revealed he makes $50000 a year.
However, sometimes it is hard to ignore their pleas, especially as in the case of the man photographed here he kneels on the hard pavement in obvious pain and discomfort. Interestingly in this photograph almost everyone has their backs to the man and is walking away. Just a coincidence but makes the photograph a little bit stronger.

Builder
by Ted Szukalski |
There are numerous construction sites through out Sydney city at the moment. Actually that is an understatement – it looks like most of the city is being under construction. Safety fences, road closures, restricted pedestrian strips are to be seen everywhere. This also means there are many builders and tradesman visible everywhere. Pitt Street Mall at lunch has a particularly high number of builders. I was lucky to photograph this man today as he emerged from the shadow, where he was resting during lunch with his mates. Caring a chair above his head he displayed his quite impressive physique.

A man running through the city
by Ted Szukalski |
I like the dynamic nature of this photograph capturing a man running along George Street pedestrian crossing near the Town Hall. With tilted perspective to fill in the frame and the tall city buildings behind him adding a spacial effect. It is one of these unplanned candid street photographs that turned out very well.
The blue sky behind him is also somehow significant as we are having unseasonal warm start to spring with temperatures today reaching 31C.
