On The Road by Laura Marchetti
I was with my daughter and I had my camera with me to take some shots of her. I focused on the details and thought of putting the road line in the center and limiting the depth of field to a minimum, to highlight the subject. It was April 2022
Fishing on the Harbour by Leanne Lindsay
I love the energy of street photography - the unexpected moments, the stories waiting to be captured. This afternoon, I found myself drawn to a bustling spot along the Sydney Harbour foreshore. Crowds ambled by, enjoying the afternoon sun, but my eye caught something unique - a family setting up fishing rods! Intrigued I don't know why, but I never considered you could fish in Sydney Harbour. I waited patiently as they baited their hooks and cast their lines. The harbour, usually a domain of ferries and sailboats, suddenly seemed like a whole new world. Mustering my courage, I approached them, camera in hand. Explaining I was a street photographer, I asked if I could capture them in action. They were friendly and happy to chat. Turns out, they're regulars here, and despite the harbor traffic, they often have a good haul! This photo captures the essence of that unexpected encounter. The family relaxed and focused, their lines cutting through the vibrant blue water. The backdrop of the Sydney Opera House fading into the background adds a touch of iconic grandeur.
Navigating Lifes Crossroads by Wilfried Claus
A young couple comes towards us in a pedestrian tunnel, only a few millimeters between their hands. Coincidence? A couple or none (yet)? We don't know. In the shadow of the tunnel, the two look almost shadowy like silhouettes. Very similar to the people depicted on a frieze of pictures on the side walls of the tunnel – photographed doing sports or going for a walk. The picture frieze is an art installation by Sigrid Lange, an artist from North Rhine-Westphalia. Through the tunnel belonging to the Pulheim station you reach the other side of the platform of the double-track railway line.
