Photo Finish

Let's Just Wait And See What Develops

Everything was just right for this picture. The flawless blue sky. The old-fashioned shop front, so redolent of Melbourne's English influence. The strong colours of the brick, freshly painted. The early afternoon shadow. The graceful roofline. And it's interesting too, to see the ``one-hour photo'' sign, that was such a crucial marketing tool in attracting customers in the Eighties and Nineties, before digital cameras became common. I had to pick up my camera and shoot this reminder of an era that is silently slipping away.
