Perth Street Photography - Photos From The Mean Streets

Perth Street Photography - Photos From The Mean Streets ...of Perth

This is a departure from the standard post. Not that there has ever been any kind of "standard" post on 6000TIMES. Street photography is one of my hobbies. In between eating chicken rice, checking out graffiti, exploring abandoned buildings, or drooling over mid-century architecture, you could find me out on the streets of Northbridge, capturing the people that make up this city. It makes for some interesting interactions.

6000TIMES has been live since April 2009 - more than three years now. 

Statistically, if you're reading this article, there's about an 80% chance you are reading it in Perth. If you fall into the other 20%, you've probably lived in Perth at some stage in your life, or maybe you're planning on moving here. At the very least, there is something about Perth that you were trying to get some info on, and you ended up here. The point being, this blog has never been about me - it has always been about Perth. 

However, in the three years that 6000TIMES has been alive, not once have I made a post that shows the about the people of Perth. For more than three years, this site has been architecture, abandoned buildings, graffiti, food, and the occasional "opinion piece", AKA rant. 

This, is the post that completes the puzzle. 

Photos of people, taken on the streets of Perth.

I don't know any of the people in these photos.

I just take photos of people on the streets.

They're all strangers, in a strange city. 

A unique city.

A truly great city.

I've never mentioned this, but I'm addicted to travel. Since starting this blog three years ago, I have travelled to more than 25 countries. Those countries didn't get their own posts (apart from one or maybe two exceptions), because, well, this blog has never been about me, nor about the rest of the world.

This blog has always been about - Perth.

I don't think I've ever thanked all of  the people who have followed along with 6000TIMES so far. This site is rapidly heading towards a million visitors over the last three years, and continues to get hundreds, sometimes thousands of page views, on a daily basis. It truly is remarkable to me. So - thanks. Really, I appreciate the support. Some of you have been around since the first post, and that's amazing to me.
