A sleepy time of day in a sleepy little town…

A day in the life: Pt.19
04:00:39pm. Flinders Street Station.
I’ve had this shot in mind for some time, and this exercise gave me the perfect opportunity to implement it… a familiar (some would say iconic) Melbourne location, shot with a longer exposure than is generally the case. The stormy clouds in the frame lived up to their fearsome appearance; by the end of the exposure, it was already starting to rain…

A day in the life: Pt.13
02:10:53pm. Princes Pier.

A day in the life: Pt.12
02:07:07pm. Princes Pier.

A day in the life: Pt.7
11:43:49am. St Kilda Pier.

Melbourne 365: Day 309
Melbourne 365: Day 102
Tides come and go, a slow and regular way of marking time. The sun rises and sets, and rises again, always the same. People arrive, work their purposes, and leave.
And through all of this, they wait. Silent. Old. Worn. Patient.
Melbourne 365: Day 95
Living in the middle of the city, it’s easy to fall out of time… no sunrise or sunset, no feeling of warm light on your neck, no watching the sun chase the darkness away from the sky.
One sunrise changes everything. I remember it all, and feel… alive, connected, part of a slow turning, changing, beautiful world.
