Coffee, Tea and Me (*) - Redfern St / Redfern (Fri 13 Jul 2012)
The soft mid-winter midday light creates an even exposure across the areas in direct sunlight and allows some detail in the shadows to come out. I think the top photo is stronger because of the silhouetted figure and his mobile phone to his ear. It compliments the girl on the left looking at her mobile's screen.

Graffiti - Redfern St / Redfern (Fri 13 Jul 2012)
From Graffiti Underworld: Villains, Vandals and Visionaries — An Intimate Look at a Subculture (*)

Graffiti is the perfect opportunity to find a voice. Otherwise you would never find a voice

Reminded me of one of my earlier posts (*) about Graffiti in Venice:

While the oil-and-canvas masterworks hanging in the city’s galleries may reflect of Venice the Renaissance era, it’s what’s painted on the outside of the museum wall that reflects what Venetians — at least the ones wielding cans of spray-paint — are thinking now.

It's not called Redfern for nothing. Remember, always be nice to a dog.
