Shortlist for Under 18 - Female
Photographer: Jenni Medland
Title: Smith Street Collingwood
Comments:
This photo portrays a group of Indigenous men enjoying an early morning drink in a small side street. The older man assisted by his walking stick and the younger man with a crutch aiding his injured foot. The man in the middle appears reserved and hardly spoke a word to me, in comparison to the others who engaged in conversation. Their clenched fists raised symbolising power, strength to their race.
