David Monk, After the goodbye (SINGLE SHOT 2025)

I was walking through Brunswick (Melbourne) when I saw this woman just after she’d waved goodbye to someone — someone who seemed close to her. She stood there quietly, like she was holding onto the moment. Shot from a distance with a 600mm focal length, the compression helped bring her into focus while still showing the quiet texture of the street. It was just a small, passing moment — but one that felt full of feeling.
