Exercise 1b: kickboxing in the Domain park, Sydney


Where to find people at work or at leasure in Sydeny? I work out that are probably tons of subjects around: Aussies like to do sport, I should just hang around in the park. But, damn, it always rains. Finally the sun comes out and I find an open air class of kickboxing. They are fine with me taking pictures. Great because it is a nice setting: on a small hill, under a strange monument representing a burned match, with skyskrapers on one side and a train bridge and houses on the other. The class does not last long enough to take all the pics I want, but it is fun. The challenge this time is to reconcile fast movement and action with having to move around and set up the camera. There are also many people in the class and lot of clutter around, difficult to stay focused on a subject. I should have had more time to pick the right one and follow him/her up in the training.
