Not Reading Poetry by Leanne Lindsay
This day I dedicated to taking some street photographs and one of my favourite places to go to watch people is the Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney. I found an installation I was intrigued with and placed myself as inconspicuously as possible, in the corner, watching people and waiting for something interesting to happen. I waited patiently for a while – maybe 1/2 an hour but nothing was happening. While waiting, I decided on a different approach and, not wanting to take a boring photo, decided to take a photo where the art installation was in focus but the people walking past were blurred. I set up my camera to take the shot I envisioned. I noticed this couple walking around, not really paying attention to the art and decided that if they walked past this artwork, I would take the photo. After some time, they walked past the art installation and as I had predicted, they didn’t stop to contemplate the artwork, but walked straight past it. That’s when I took the shot. It came out exactly as I had envisioned.

Born in Adelaide in 1962, Leanne Lindsay’s family moved to Sydney when she was 12 years old. She was gifted her first camera for her 21st birthday but a break-in saw her precious camera stolen just 3 years later. It was only in her late 50s she was able to afford to replace it and now in her 60s she has discovered a passion that was sadly lost many years ago. She now photographs families and newborns but enjoys architectural photography and landscapes in particular.
