What a cool city Melbourne is. Big and full of life and lively folks.
I mean, seriously, look at this bike rider who pulled up along Elgin Street as walked home from a great afternoon wandering in the Fitzroy area. Her outfit beats the heck out of the black spandex wedgie wear I see bikers dressed in around North Carolina.
It turns out, this lovely woman, an artist from Ireland, is like me. She's trying to be braver about making photographs of people she doesn't know. She wants to photograph trends, to be a trend spotter.
Anyway, we had a good conversation about getting up the nerve to ask someone, just ask, go ahead and ask if you can make a photo of them. Usually what I find is that people are happy to be photographed, but how many people can look as happy and lovely as she is another thing all together.
