It happens on the 'street'- but when you go out of the agora, into a shop, it becomes more intimate, and the real texture of the neighborhood becomes really palpable. I like the start you've made. I have a feeling that these are the type of shots that your descendents will find in the 22nd century, and they will marvel at life "Way back when!" To me, this is the true beauty of photography, capturing those little slices of life, and time- and cementing them into our collective memory. Keep up the good work! I really enjoyed the shots, and they even brought back memories for me, and I am only 53 years old!!!
