I reckon it all depends on experience. I grew up in NYC. For years I did street photography there before I moved to the Northwest. The photo opportunities were not in the huge structures or glitzy signs or even in the slum neighborhoods, but in the small spaces among them. That's where I would find the a chess knight guarding a gate. A Raggedy Ann doll adorning a cement mixer truck. An orange globe setting like the sun lighting a subway entrance in downtown Brooklyn. br - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
