Hill of Content

Easily my best shot so far. Captured in the streets of Melbourne.

 

This moment unfolded in a split second right in front of me. I saw the frame and just reacted by instinct. It wasn't until I looked back at the photo later that I realized how heavy the context actually was.

 

The irony of the sign, "Hill of Content", makes it almost surreal. While the name suggests a state of satisfaction, the frame captures the two extremes of city life crossing paths. The man in the sharp suit isn't just walking by; he's looking right at the homeless man sitting against the wall.

 

That look between them, right under that sign, says it all. It makes you stop and wonder who is actually "content," and exposes that city divide we usually ignore in a way that’s impossible to miss.

 

Really proud of this one.
