About a month ago, I was "fishing" around the City Hall area, just at the junction between North Bridge Road and Coleman Street. It was a crowded Sunday afternoon with many Vietnamese and Myanmar people.
Initially, I wanted to take photographs of this young girl standing by the barricades, but she looked away when I pressed the shutter. However, this young guy walked into the frame and stroked his hair. That look in his eyes is filled with self-confidence. Next to him, a masked lady with her sunglasses on her head, frowning. It'd be a better and more interesting street photograph by cropping the photo as shown below, focussing on these 2 characters.
Our National Day is just around the corner and there will be more people hanging out in that area on the coming weekends. I'm planning on doing more up-close street photos of people. Will share the photos when ready.
