[Leica] IMG: Is it street photography? ANSWER & THANKS

[luisripoll at telefonica.net (Luis Ripoll)]

Thanks Philippe for your kind comments and for share my observation, for us
"the local people" is easier see the different charachteristics of then
local and foreign people. I hope have new opportunities to meet you and
enjoy Barcelona, your idea to document the "balconies life" is a good one
and could be a very nice project.

Saludos cordiales
Luis

Generic but special thanks to everyone who viewed and/or commented.

Of course, it was not M, it was not film, it was not WA.
But most of the answers I got on and off-list confirm that the general
feeling is that you can try and shoot "street-photgraphy" even without the
above listed ingredients.
George I think, spoke of sub-categorizing galleries in his "mind-eye".

Thanks all for your nice comments and very encourageing ones too.

To Luis and travellers: Luis spotted foreigners on those balconies, and as
the "local" he must be right in this respect. My shots were taken in "good
bad faith" and I'm sorry for there being intruders.
So I guess Luis your very selective eye will also be much appreciated by my
"followers" when you meet in Barcelona, which won't be long from what I read
(lucky ones), and who will be flying in droves too.  (poor lucky Luis) :-D

Enjoy Barcelona all, it is a WONDERFUL place to be seen live or thanks to
Luis, by proxy.
Thanks again.

Phil...x
