The finger communicates to frazzled commuters …

I wander across the Yarra late one night and fleetingly wonder where this woman is headed.

I wander down little Collins St late one night … and there’s Chuckle Park inviting me in. I politely decline and keep wandering.

I was in Melbourne’s Bourke St mall last weekend, listening to Gareth, a fiercely talented pianist. I looked up and noticed this man on the edges of the crowd. The next day he was there again, listening to Gareth, hovering – drawn by the beautiful music, yet seeming reluctant to get too close.

Antony, from Paris, decided, at the age of 20, to travel the world. He’s now 23 and has been to 40 countries. When I asked his favourite, he listed about ten in quick succession.

Wherever he goes, Antony lays his map out, with photos of his travels around the edge, and waits for people to be curious enough to talk to him. There’s a cap for donations – to help support his journey – and it seems that that’s how he gets by. A crowd-funding scheme that’s quite low-tech. But what an adventure!

Good things come in threes – or so they say.

Who are ‘they’?
Birthday ice-cream.

Pity it was just a photo and not a sample!
Urban scene.
I don’t generally do street photography, but I kind of liked the way the tree divided the scene so clearly.

Despite what it looks like, Tim wasn’t playing hide and seek with the well-dressed men wearing bow ties.

An Insta-meet, a bridge, a beam of sunlight, and a man. All the ingredients for an interesting shot!
