How I see it
The concept of showing the view from someone else’s perspective has been in my head for a long time. However, realising it in street photography is very difficult. Today I was in luck. This young man was having a good look around. His sight seem to focus on office buildings in a distance. This allowed me to focus on his glasses and the view in them.

Architecture and people
This photograph of very heavy, angled concrete columns is probably an easily recognisable place for many Sydney based people. If you work or have lunch at Australia Square you probably passed these many times.
The columns create an interesting perspective with their triangular void space, as if they lead to some focal point where people cross from the street to the inner open space of the eateries and offices. It is an impressive, older style architecture, which seems a bit boxy and heavy these days.

Fire Safety Door
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.

Playing cello in George Street MG_8930
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.

Street lamps in golden light MG_5975
I walked through Darling Harbour today on my way to the train station. The nice golden light of late afternoon was about to disappear behind the tall buildings. The street lights, now in the shadow, due to their uneven glass were deforming the view behind them. In this case windows of a hotel building.

Girl Talk
Another photo focused on body language. This time two attractive young women chatting happily in the middle of the Pitt Street mall. Ah yes, the high skirt is back in fashion.

The Issue - Your say
The Big Issue - while you are waiting for the customer you can read it. And it seems the articles can be very fascinating.
