I believe that one of the reasons "street" photographers often choose medium to very wide angle lenses rests in the ability to create strong foreground background relationships; achieving both an intimacy with the subject (usually people) along with a significant amount of the environment in which they're interacting. The scale relationships of people to environment, as they interact in these compositions leave me wondering if the architecture or the folks are the intended subject. Many of the images seem to lack a strong focal point. I do enjoy the texture and tonality of the series; yet I don't feel drawn into the scene; almost as if I'm up against an invisible fence.
