This broken umbrella is perhaps not a common sight but the weather forecast is telling us we have another two weeks of continuous rainy day ahead of us.

Today I’ve met a very cool fellow street shooter by the name of Jeremy. We stood on the opposite sides of George Street aiming for some people shots during a torrential rain that swept through Sydney around midday.

While Jeremy was aiming for people with umbrellas I found one with ease – him. These Nikon guys certainly have an advantage. Just look how cool his umbrella is.

Thanks Jeremy – you’ve been a good sport.

The old woman with her bright, yellow umbrella looked like some surreal apparition from another time in the middle of busy Sydney mall. She wore a knitted flowery hat and a strange looking coat. Her modern, plastic footwear was at total odds with the rest of the outfit. I have this distinct impression I have photographed her before but I cannot recall the circumstances.

This Indian cook called out: “Hey man with a big camera, why don’t you take a photograph of me?”. Could I refuse an invitation like that?
