Quite a job of laying rubber. New meaning to "Street Photography." What location? :thumbup: :thumbup:
Those lines impressed me. It was taken in Chappell Hill, Texas, a small town about 50 miles west of Houston.

I like these. I like the triangle the people make in the top photo. And good composition on the bottom one.

Yes, you're both right on that one. Tighter cropping definitely improves it.

It looks too cold to even think about going out there. A good catch.

A good shot of a man at work. I agree with LarryN, though. Would crop that guy out.

Nice ones. Yes, number 2 could have been taken in Los Angeles; every girl does it That's why I like #4 the best--it's the most exotic.

If you are thinking of traveling to Cuba; there are a variety of accommodations to choose from. Here are some of them. I really like Martin's beachfront Hostel. Although the "Room" seems intriguing.
I'm not sure why, but the top photo makes me smile.

Street Photography is as much a way of thinking as it is a genre of photography./[/code]
I wonder about the idea of "interacting with our surroundings." It seems that much (most?) of the interactions/vibrations between the subject and the street are those imposed by the photographer. A man walking down the street may have no interaction whatsoever with "the street" aside from contact with his feet. His mind may be somewhere in Pittsburgh. But when the photographer snaps him walking between dark buildings, casting a long shadow, and backlit by the setting sun, we have a "street photograph." It's really the photographer who determined the relationship.
When the subject matter is the interactions between two or more people, it's somewhat different. Now the focus is on the interaction, not so much on the surroundings. But we all know you can have two shots taken seconds apart, and one will be great, and the other, less than ordinary. The photographer again defines the shot.
Anyhow, I agree 100% with you that "Perhaps the best of Street are moments where some odd twist of life is shown." I also like your statement, "With Street Photography the 'subject' is...the relationship between things...." I just have a problem with ephemeral vibrations between the subject and the street, and that kind of thing. I'm trying to keep it simple, and I think your quotes do that.
