Gerry,

I really like this one, in my opinion it contains all the elements to make a good street photo, the moment, the composition, it’s fun, it shows some particular scene.

Seeing it I come back again to some of my thoughts of the actual street photography, maybe it is finished in the terms that the classic photographers we see, If it is not dead, what I do think is that it is languished a lot. I see my archives from the 90’s, like yours, plenty of particular charachteristic images, but actually I find much more difficult to find the originality and images with a special charachter like it was in the past, today many of the wonderful pictures from i.e. Doisneau would not have been possible. The World has become globalized and our societies more uniform everywhere. At least is what I think and found on my everyday life. 

Cheers
Lluis
