Vanilla & Pistacchio Macarons by Leanne Lindsay

Vanilla and Pistachio Macarons by Leanne Lindsay

Who doesn't love French Macarons? I know I do, and I love baking them and photographing them, probably even more than I love eating them. This day, vanilla and pistachio were on the menu, and they didn't disappoint. The light in my apartment was perfect for food photography, so I spent the day in perfect bliss, taking many photographs of my macarons. I always feel at peace after baking and spending time with my camera - Heaven.

I love the energy of street photography - the unexpected moments, the stories waiting to be captured. This afternoon, I found myself drawn to a bustling spot along the Sydney Harbour foreshore. Crowds ambled by, enjoying the afternoon sun, but my eye caught something unique - a family setting up fishing rods! Intrigued I don't know why, but I never considered you could fish in Sydney Harbour. I waited patiently as they baited their hooks and cast their lines. The harbour, usually a domain of ferries and sailboats, suddenly seemed like a whole new world. Mustering my courage, I approached them, camera in hand. Explaining I was a street photographer, I asked if I could capture them in action. They were friendly and happy to chat. Turns out, they're regulars here, and despite the harbor traffic, they often have a good haul! This photo captures the essence of that unexpected encounter. The family relaxed and focused, their lines cutting through the vibrant blue water. The backdrop of the Sydney Opera House fading into the background adds a touch of iconic grandeur.

Laughing Clowns by Leanne Lindsay

I have had a fear of clowns from when I was a small child. It's not just a fear, it's a phobia. To try to get over this phobia, whenever I am in Sydney, I try to go to Luna Park and photograph clowns at every opportunity. These ones were a safe option, as they weren't actually 'real' clowns, but I don't think it's helping. In fact, I think they're just laughing at me.
