Who was the guy back in the 70s that did the photo story/book on suburbia? 
That was street photography, wasn't it?

In J-school we had an assignment once called "7 pictures on a block." You had 
to make 7 pictures on one roll of film all within a single one block 
perimeter -- seems like it was supposed to be YOUR block but that may not be 
right. It was pretty neat.
