What is Street Photography ?

I think street photography should include an indication of some type of activity usually including people. Here is a "technically" nice photo of a street without people present and another with people and vegetables.

Hi, Pete,
Personal opinion?
Both could qualify as "street" but neither would elicit more than a cursory glance of cause a breac-in -step in my circulation through the gallery. the first is architectural, and though there are people in the second, they are off to the side, seem not to be niter acting, and all seem to be wasting to go elsewhere.Not he kind of potential story to hold attention.
One guy"s opinion.

There is a person present if you follow the center strip. I like it.

Yep,

They are kind of touristy, if that's a word.

Here's one of a tourist.
