As I mentioned in a past PAD, I see no point in apologising for seemingly mundane shots. While they may be neither breathtaking nor artistically virtuous, they capture a moment that, once gone, will never reoccur. That's just like every other moment in every other place, really, but with the difference that these ones are preserved forever.

So while we'll never again see this particular combination of sunlight in the middle of an otherwise cloudy day surrounded by rain on both sides, and that group of cars parked in the road, and those people in the people mover watching me take the photograph, and the two guys just beyond the parking meter, and the seagull standing directly in front of me and casting a shadow almost straight down... they're all here, preserved and united for as long as PBase and SmugMug last. In 100 years someone could, in theory at least, look at this image and imagine what it would have been like to stand in this corner of Pyrmont, on this particular day, and speculate about what was to be found down that road, or on those cross-paths.

When the days seem to suffer from a certain "sameness", I do try to remind myself (and this shot is part of it) that despite similarities there's something unique about every moment and you can either savour that, or just let it wash over you and wonder where the years went. (And prior to PADing, I for one probably did too much of the latter.)

Mundane it may be, but for today... it's what you get.
