Living Memory Finalist
My roommate Lucien decided to make do with what little midday sun was available by sunbaking. He wasn't bothered by the lack of grass to lie on in our concreted suburban backyard in Coburg, or by the temperamental, gusty weather on this spring day during Melbourne's hard lockdown. It made me appreciate the optimism a person can carry – the trait that allows them to make the best of any given situation by gracefully accepting the limitations at hand. I'm glad I was there to capture it.
