One of the streets I have been taking photos up and down for the past 10 years more than any other, would probably be Simpson Street. I never get tired of exploring the side streets and back alleys of this old part of town. Whether it’s the small details most people miss or the street scenes, I always find something interesting to capture.

This morning saw me venture over to Fishermans Park to see what I could capture. It was an extremely cold morning so I didn’t want to stay out too long but I did take the time to get a few keepers.

I find photography so relaxing, and it takes my mind off all the other stresses in life. Plus, it often helps me procrastinate even more, once I get home, because I want to immediately develop my photos. Well, maybe that’s actually a bad thing, but I digress.
