And as one who essentially shoots nothing but people, I would guess that the
absence of people is the very point of these shots: Every one but the first
is, after all, of what appears to be an abandoned spot. And the first is all
the more stark and bizarre for not having any people in it.

Carl, certainly very good shots, but since you brought HCB into the
equation, I am struck by there not being a single person in any of the
photos. Having people in pictures like this can add a powerful element.
