The Commute

By Rick Hyde

The last few years I’ve taken it a bit more seriously photographing different subjects, but I am finding I have a passion for street photography. I’m currently using a Ricoh GR III set to a 35 mm crop for this picture of commuters on an Adelaide tram.

As photographer Rick Hyde noted, street photography is a real buzz. Every frame can, like this one, be its own mysterious little world.

This image has for me the quality of a quick glance, of something seen out of the corner of my eye just before it vanishes.

The slight blur of the tram and the not quite focused faces of the two travellers, reinforces the sense of a fleeting moment glimpsed – rather than contemplated.

And that’s just right for this picture.
