summer in winter? 2/8/11

Well I think it's fair to say the summer gods have flashed themselves at us over the last few days, and let's face it, no one's complaining. As much as we have loved taking photos in the street over the last month it has sometimes felt like more of a chore than an enojoyable activity. However yesterday we simply spent every minute we had out in the streets being part of the world we're in, reacting and relating to everything we saw. It's simply so much fun under the sunny skies and amongst the crisp warm air. Yesterday just had that feel about it where you wanted to do nothing but grab a cold six pack, go to the park and listen to summer tunes. In a nut shell, hurry the fuck up summer!

I spotted this girl while she was eating her lunch so I decided not to disturb her and waited until she was finshed. When I asked her if I could take her photo she was a little embarrassed and hesitant which is always good, it's always a bit of a turn off if a girl is to willing to have her photo taken. She was really nice and had a very natural and soft feel.

I really liked this guys look, I have no way to describe it but I think this guys clothes and style matched a warm Winters day perfectly. His friend wouldn't stop laughing the entire time I took the photos which added to the enjoyment of it. I always feel like I get the best photos when the person i'm shooting has time to play around and have fun.

The GPO building has become a favourite spot of ours to hang out and watch the world go by. These guys seemed to be doing the same as we sat near them. What struck us was their lay-back style, for instance the odd socks and the poncho like cape. The guy on the right asked if he could wear a bag on his head just to be interesting, it made the shot in my opinion. Don't ask me what the block of wood was for though!

They'd both been shot earlier in the day by other fashion bloggers, I definitely see why they would've been. Glad they were both willing to have their photos taken again.

I was just finishing up for the day when I noticed this guy at the tram stop I was walking past. What struck me was his outfit which appeared to have quite a cropped neck. The photo above doesn't do it justice as it looked great, you can kind of see it below. A different, unique look that I haven't come across before. What i've loved about Winter so far has been that people aren't afraid to wear new styles, which on one level are practical and warm, and on another make a statement.
