Warren Kirk - Northside

The way he captures the fading shopfronts and quiet streets from West Brunswick to Fitzroy feels almost nostalgic, even for someone who’s never been to Melbourne. I’ve spent hours going back through the photos of Hadfield and Reservoir, spotting details I missed the first time.

The way Kirk frames those quiet corner shops and worn pub facades in Fitzroy and Hadfield feels almost documentary-like, not just pretty pictures. It's the kind of book you flip through slowly, then realize an hour's gone by.

As a local, I love how this captures the specific vibe of places like Northcote and Reservoir. The detail in the street scenes and old buildings feels spot on for anyone who knows that part of Melbourne.
