About Kings Cross Streets

Kings Cross has never been an ordinary neighbourhood.

It's a place with a colourful past, an evolving present and a character that doesn't always fit neatly into the stories people tell about it.

Kings Cross Streets is an ongoing photographic journal of everyday life in and around the Cross and Potts Point. The people, the streets, the humour, the contradictions and those unexpected moments that make an ordinary walk anything but ordinary.

The photography is candid and observational, captured with Leica digital and traditional film cameras. Nothing staged, nothing dressed up. Just street life as it unfolds.

There's no attempt to recreate the Kings Cross of yesterday or present a carefully polished version of today. The neighbourhood has changed, and it will keep changing. That's part of what makes it interesting.

Sometimes colourful, sometimes confronting, often funny and rarely predictable.

Just Kings Cross being Kings Cross.
