| An excellent series, Paul - thank you. The woman, top right, is my favorite, but each has a feel all its own, and each explores a different sort of aspect of the day and the place. Always enjoyable to see through your eyes! |

| You nailed, absolutely nailed, the square composition. And this quilt of component images also looks spectacular. |

To see "my" city through different eyes is always a treat.
The 9 picture format is very suitable for condensing this multitude that is Manhattan - after all, we talk about an island.
The "passive look" that  ubique mentioned comes in my opinion from the fact that you took your shots in touristy places in Midtown, save for the one with the man reading the paper by the park on Fifth Ave.
Come back and get immersed in the street life.
Each picture is beautiful on its own - it must have beed a very sunny day that made you choose such a contrasty look.
I thoroughly enjoyed your shots. |

| The group of 9 makes a nice cover, or introduction, but each one by itself is fascinating. Love the square crop. Love the way you catch people looking outside the frame at something that caught their interest or their eye. My favorite is the clear crisp candy colors of the one in color--I like the color in contrast to the BW, & I like the way you framed it. |

Nice collection of images and the grid framing is appealing for your story. You handled the self imposed square crop constraint well. I like your decision to have your subjects looking out of the grid. Some of may favorite street photography leaves me wondering what is just outside of the frame. Thanks!

Funny, that comment by Paul  GeneralE about the top corners, because I much prefer them the way they are: looking out. That's probably because I always like to consider the parts of a picture that might lie outside the frame; it's very often more interesting that way with street photography.
The nine photographs are interesting and attractive in themselves, but I do see the evidence of your recent observation about street photography being in your view primarily an observational genre. I don't agree with that passive and objective approach myself (because I think it necessarily produces limp – or at least passive – pictures), but I reckon that I'm in the minority even among street photographers. But your photography is, as ever, technically and aesthetically superb. Thank you.

A fine example of the diversity all around us ... I like the variety of perspectives and the square crop works well.
On a second third look I would probably have switched positions between the top corner photos in the composite, so that the main characters would be looking "in" rather than out, although I know that's just the "standard" approach ...
