Four mischievous urban children roam the streets of inner-city Sydney and take all sorts of liberties with supermarket trolleys…yes, a typical Saturday night scene for an assortment of dissenter who crave not the lazy comforts of a suburban dwelling, but quite altogether feel at home staying up late and stomping about poorly-lit alley ways.
Fancy all the fun games and adventuresome diversions that can be contrived in such enclaves with no adult supervision!!
The best thing about street photography after dark is that there are no rules. The final viewer of a print will see more than the original photographer saw through her lens. On a night out like this, there is emancipation from daylight-derived regulations; the freedom to act and shoot at will means that protagonists are self-ruling thespians on a stage constructed for their own gratification.
Choose your hero: you are now become him! Around each corner, within the smallest of neighborhoods, at any moment, photography allows us to freeze one of those moments and study all of the small dramas, episodes and pseudo-movie scenes that were taking place.
Be who you wanna be, young Street Urchin…
