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.
Stands with Regal Poise by Saniar Rahman Rahul
Perched on a dry tree branch in the heart of the Sundarbans, the Bar-winged Flycatcher Shrike stands with regal poise, its gaze fixed ahead, bathed in the warm morning sunlight.
