Chromatic Chronicles: Streets in Color Film, Volume 2

2010s Melbourne

Photography is an immediate reaction, drawing is a meditation.

Photography is an immediate reaction, drawing is a meditation.

In this second installment of photographs, my exploration of Melbourne’s evolving streets persisted throughout the changing landscape of the 2010s. Armed with just my Mamiya c220, a 65-year-old medium format camera, I delved into the art of mastering new techniques. I only had 12 frames per roll, I learned to appreciate, compose, and wait for the photo. Concurrently, this period marked the inception of my journey into the world of darkroom work and film development. These are snapshots of an energetic time, where each frame tells a story of both innovation and the enduring charm of Melbourne’s streets.
