Sonny,

Thanks for the comments. Please don't take much of what I write very 
seriously - it is sometimes said to tickle a screwy sense of humor only known 
to me.  However, my thoughts on street photography were semi-serious.  The 
crab girls seem so different than what I see on the internet associated with 
street photography that I must just not 'get it'.

Further, taking good pictures on the street does seem largely impossible.  
One can be lucky with crabs, but I have no confidence another nice picture of 
strangers will every come out of my camera.

And just what are the characteristics of pictures taken by street 
photographers?

Dave
