This great image, which forms part of the David Mist photographic archive, was taken in Paddington in 1969. This glimpse of daily life around the streets of Paddington was one of the images that didn’t make it into David’s book on the life in around the city titled ‘Sydney’ that was published in 1969. Around this time David produced two documentary style photographic publications that were quite different to his commercial fashion photography, one being on life in and around Sydney and the other about Australian women.

This shot features the Dandy Dog salon that used to be located in Paddington which was apparently one of the first grooming salons in NSW.
