One of the things you do consistantly is not only capturing people in the picture, of course quite often the person is the main anchour, but it's the environment of where it's happening that makes many of them work so successfully as a "street photo!" And many pictures we see from others who call themselves "street photographers" is, they think street photography is all about the "people of the streets!" And shoot too tight without including the environment of the street where the people are or what they're doing within that environment. Many become a quasi kind of portrait rather than the overall scene including where it's happening. Many of HCB's pictures include the "environment of the street" with a person as part of the scene much like you do. Keep 'em coming. ted - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
