I think yesterday had a little bit of everything, some beautiful rare winter sun, some ghost like mist that
covered the city, some very uninspiring moments and most importantly some very inspiring moments. Although we feel so very lucky to be able to spend so much time out in the world we're in and reacting to those things that we find so interesting, sometimes you can't help feeling that maybe you’re asking a little bit much of the world when nothing seems to catch your eye. We spent hours yesterday walking around and didn't see a single person we felt seduced us with their style in anyway, however as patience is a virtue, after seeing the cat below our fortunes changed.

It seemed to be the flavour of the day that we took photos of people on holidays, the girl above is from Auckland.

It's always hard to take a photo of someone when they're working, which is unfortunate because we see so many special people who are working when they catch our eye. This girl was in a big rush to get back into her shop Hunter Gatherer, however I managed to get a few quick snaps off and she was very patient. There was something very strong about her and very powerful, but at the same time beautiful.

We saw this guy several times on Brunswick St wheeling a pram, and eventually the combination of his style and the fact that he could be the coolest dad we have ever seen overcame us and we just had to capture him.

As we sat down for lunch and took a rest this cat jumped up on my seat and snuggled into my jacket. He was very friendly and placid and a dude working at the cafe said he was a regular. The cat ended up changing our luck dramatically as a wave of wonderful fashion washed over us following this little interaction.

In relation to photography the sun has always been a menace to me. It's never created any beauty and has caused me many problems. However due to some helpful tips and my undoubted love of light I’ve started trying to work alongside the sun. We had some really nice low sunlight to work with yesterday and this guy was one of those people where we both just looked at each other and said yep without any hesitation.

This guy was on a holiday from Perth and had just bought a record, I had to chase him through the fog, but it was worth it.

You very rarely see two really good people to shoot together, but when it happens it's a pretty euphoric feeling. This guy is a fashion designer from the label 'Two Trees', Bea has written a little more about them below.

Every time we go out with a keen eye for people on the street something always catches my eye. Whether this is hair, clothes or accessories, it's always great to see people confidently wearing what they want and ignoring the restrictions of the season. As it's currently winter, anyone who isn't completely rugged up stands out for me. Today this girl immediately caught my attention with her stunning red socks, which may be a bit cold to wear but definitely look great.

Heading into the city we were overcome by the amount of fog descending upon the skyline. We couldn't see the tops of buildings let alone the top of the Arts Centre and many seemed shocked at how quickly the 'cold spell' had come on. What struck us were the amount of people who had been caught out wearing shorts, dresses without stockings, and short-sleeved tops because of the sunny afternoon. This girl that we found was indeed cold with her long socks so a quick few snaps were taken so she could venture to warmer parts of the cbd.

It's great to meet people out on the street and hear about what they do day to day. This guy we found to be a fashion designer for a new label called 'Two Trees'. It's to be launched in August and seems to already have quite a following, check them out on Facebook.
