I walk down Melbourne streets camera in hand, conscious of the fact that it is big and perhaps intimidating for others.

However I am on the hunt for that elusive fleeting movement where the interactions of people provide that moment, that shot, that makes one pause and reflect.

Street photography is difficult and at times a forbidding genre to take up, one has to be confident, assured and ever so quick as life ebbs and flows around. So many times I have seen shots that before I can react the players have moved on. Other times my mood has not been right, less confident perhaps or tired, just not ready to raise the camera.

It is these factors that attract, knowing that for most of the time I will fail to achieve, to meet the standard set by the greats of the past when technology was less obliging and those who are today’s masters of the art.

I dream of seeing and capturing that shot, the one that lives to the standards set by those soaring talents of earlier times and its dreams that power human endeavour.

Occasionally I find a shot that I’m ready to exhibit for others to see.

Here are some of them, these photographs are the collection that I am exhibiting in SITHOM 2015, I do so hope that you find that to be of a reasonable standard.
