Happy Chatter Shares the City Square with the Birds
(Parramatta Square Sydney Australia April 2015)
Strolling around the public square in the "suburban" city of Parramatta in the west of Sydney today, I came across this guy who seemed to be all alone, although the square was actually quite busy (the sun being out after several days of heavy rain).
At the distance I was from him I couldn't see the expression on his face, but I liked the scene and made the picture. As I walked past him, he looked up and actually laughed. In such cases I always speak to the people I've shared a moment with. Here is our little conversation.
Me: Thank you (pointing to my camera to tell him I had made the photo)
I just loved the way you looked as if you were concentrating hard on your phone" (mimicking his pose).
Him: (laughing some more) I am just having a chat with my daughter"
Me: Well thanks for the photo, and have a good chat with her"
Him: (laughing again) Thank you
Nice eh? A great little moment shared with a dad who was so happy to be talking to his daughter, and was so proud to let me, a stranger with a camera, know about it.
One of the reasons I am a street photographer.
Peace
