This image, showing a backstreet in the inner suburbs of Sydney, comes from the David Mist photographic archive. This particular shot, from a 35mm black and white negative, was shot for one of David’s publications ‘Sydney a book of Photographs’ that was published in 1969. It appears on page 90 of the book with the caption:
The inner suburbs such as Balmain, Paddington and Potts Point were once high-class residential areas of the city. The wooden and stone buildings on this and the next page hark back to the convict era.
It is always fascinating to choose an image of David’s for Photo of the Day as his archive is full of amazing photographs that cover a range of topics including fashion, other commercial shoots but also his candid shots of street scenes and daily life in and around the city and the inner suburbs, such as this shot.
