This is another of of my Joburg #StreetPhotography shots #Monochrome #BNWPhotography
kinda the type of image that I’m drawn too…..think this may even be my own reflection in the centre.
Joburg city. one camera and one lens…which is the way I usually go out. Always a prime like a 35mm or a 50mm mainly.
