I photographed this woman while she was waiting for pedestrian lights to change. She was with a group of people clad in orange t-shirts and some, like her, wore a plastic bum. So, Does My Bum Look Big In This? Frankly, I think so. I am not sure what was behind this exhibition. It did not look as an advertisement or promotion. Perhaps a prank or some group game.
Woman in orange scarf
by Ted Szukalski |Here is a scene seen very often in any tourist destination. A woman on her way to the Sydney Opera House is walking and her only vision forwards is the view of her camera viewfinder. Just look at the level of concentration on her face.
The video bug aside I though she was an excellent model for this photograph because of her bright orange attire and matching bracelets on her hand. Very colourful and decorative.
promotion girl in orange costume
by Ted Szukalski |On a quite cold and grey day this brightly clad in orange costume girl certainly brought a smile. She was very enthusiastic about the photo opportunity. How could I refuse a snap?
Orange and tall
by Ted Szukalski |ING was running some promotion today in Sydney using people on stilts. They were visible from afar and I guess the orange, tall figures of these people drew considerable interest.
As I was taking this photograph of one of the promotion people talking to a passerby I had to ask myself is this really how a company wants to talk to their potential customers?
Wait for me
by Ted Szukalski |I have noticed this Asian couple just few minutes before I took this photograph. It was hard not to notice the tall girl in her bright orange dress and pearl white skin. After all this is autumn and most people wear subdued dark coloured clothing.
As they were approaching Town Hall building the man seemed to forget his partner and rushed a bit ahead thus leaving her exposed to the rain. She obviously was not impressed.
They both had biggest laugh when I have shown them the photograph. It is good to come across people who despite the lousy weather can find humour in their own situation.
