I do not usually shoot for a theme on the streets. It is however, not surprising, that there are underlying themes running through street photographs. And when I looked through my street photographs from beautiful city of Sydney, I was a bit surprised how many of the photographs were a silent 'ode to togetherness' - of couples spending time together in parks, walking hand in hand and sharing a special moment. Some of these maybe seem familiar from an earlier post, I hope you enjoy the lovey dovey redux.
An old couple, holding hands and looking through an open door, curious perhaps.
Just as the I walked over to the Rocks (the old City, next to Sydney Harbor), I looked back to see this couple, alone but together
A dark alley and they walk home (perhaps), hand in hand.
and these two after a friday evening shopping, the friends (in the background) have found what they were looking for - yes!
And some last moments together for this couple, gave me this beautiful moment of togetherness
It does look like the Rocks, Sydney is a favorite with those who wish to spend some time together. What are your favorite places where you like (d) to hang out with your other half.
PS: lemme see how many from mumbai let me into their secret. Can't wait to build this theme in Mumbai now.

loved the combination of words & pix mayank.. its just wonderful...loved every pic.. :) :)
Amazing! The first picture and the last one are stunning. Too good, Mayank:)
Well put together Mayank! That last image looks like it was shot with kodachrome film. I think I like the 4th one the most because of the perfect timing.
Thanks Kaushal. That you remind me of film makes me want to give myself a christmas gift :-)
That was one good picture essay, the kind I love about your blog. Loved the old couple in the first pic. (Obviously, do you say :) ?)
Loved the entire set and your words added magic to those stills.
Keep it up!
nicely done and loved the idea!
thanks Z. I know why you liked the first pic, you are just fond of good looking couples. :-)
This is a great series, with a subject matter that's close to my heart, as these were shot in an area of Sydney that I often used to go to when I lived there. They're all well done, but if I had to choose, I'd go for the first two, myself.
Andrew - am glad you like them and I could revive some fond memories for you. thanks for your comments.
Somewhere, over the rainbow. Incidentally, they are all gorgeous captures.
Thank you. Show me where this rainbow is :)
