LAST LIGHT – THE KITCHEN #17
As I’ve been mainly housebound in the last 11 months or so, I’ve been trying to think of a new B & W project to do indoors. My small studio apartment offers few options or subjects, so I return again to an old project – “Last light” – a personal project which I hadn’t thought to share online, but maybe this year is the one (to do so).

CITY LIVING
In general, I rarely go into the Melbourne City’s CBD (central business district) any more as it’s so crowded in the main Bourke Street pedestrian only shopping mall and I find my senses overwhelmed.
My MCS (multiple chemical sensitivity) is super-sensitive to perfumes, chemicals, loud sounds and bright lights.
Yesterday’s visit to my favourite hairdresser, who can tame my wayward hair into some resemblance of style, and my regular Dental appointment (next Wednesday) are about the only reasons for a visit.
Yesterday was hot and airless in the crowd, but one can never predict the weather in Melbourne (when you make appointments the previous week).

GIVING THE BIKE A REST
BUSKER (street artist) & AUDIENCE
In the past, I’ve usually photographed Buskers, (street artists or musicians), but the reality is that I find the audience far more interesting.
Yesterday, (in between rain showers), I photographed a Busker’s audience from the other side of the street.

As I was hurrying to catch a tram to the south side of the city, I stopped for a moment to watch the above scene. I’m not sure whether I captured this scene as well as I could have (had I more time), but street photography is often a quick un-composed shot anyway.
I couldn’t help but be highly amused at the sight of 2 women calmly sitting on the step eating their lunch(?) while the cameraman was recording a clip of (perhaps) a journalist or TV weatherman behind them?
Next minute, a man in a velour sort of dressing gown (?), complete with ankle socks and thongs, interrupted them, walked up to the person being filmed and put his arm around him (I missed that shot), so they stopped filming. I couldn’t work out whether he was part of the crew. or a passerby in a rather strange outfit on a cold winter’s day wanting to be photographed with a celebrity of some sort? I was too far away to really see much.
I rarely go in to the city centre to do street photography these days. It’s usually a quick stop, or walk down a lane, on the way to somewhere else.

In the absence of being close to Melbourne’s CBD and the opportunities to do Street Photography now I’m living further away in the western suburbs, sometimes I have to resort to photographing something indoors.
Shooting ordinary everyday objects indoors is actually not as easy as it looks I must say.
Feel free to offer some constructive criticism in the comment box below.

WHERE IS HE NOW?
From the archives…..
This image of a busker in the main shopping mall area in Burke Street remains one of my favourite images to this day.
I haven’t seen him since 2010 which is the year I first took up Photography as a hobby and I often wonder……..where is he now?
This is one image which looked terrible in colour, but B & W – just perfect.

Since I rarely go into the city since moving to the western suburbs of Melbourne 4 months ago, this blog will change in subject matter/style.
Not sure where its going, but hopefully I’ll wake up one morning and find some inspiration.
Simple subjects will probably take over from (mostly) street photography.
