[Leica] IMG: Is it street photography? ANSWER & THANKS

[phamard at numericable.fr (Philippe Amard)]

Generic but special thanks to everyone who viewed and/or commented.

Of course, it was not M, it was not film, it was not WA.
But most of the answers I got on and off-list confirm that the general 
feeling is that you can try and shoot "street-photgraphy" even without 
the above listed ingredients.
George I think, spoke of sub-categorizing galleries in his "mind-eye".

Thanks all for your nice comments and very encourageing ones too.

To Luis and travellers: Luis spotted foreigners on those balconies, and 
as the "local" he must be right in this respect. My shots were taken in 
"good bad faith" and I'm sorry for there being intruders.
So I guess Luis your very selective eye will also be much appreciated by 
my "followers" when you meet in Barcelona,
which won't be long from what I read (lucky ones),
and who will be flying in droves too.  (poor lucky Luis) :-D

Enjoy Barcelona all, it is a WONDERFUL place to be seen live
or thanks to Luis, by proxy.
Thanks again.

Phil...x
