I enjoyed your essay.
When I think of street photography, I imagine public spaces. Without people, I think urban landscape. There's something in what you say that leads me to wonder if you avoid people in your street photography because you do not want to photograph strangers & risk a possible confrontation.
I like the phrase "it's about how something looks photographed." I can understand that kind of curiosity. For me, street photography, like most photography, is the art of taking something out of context in a way that lets it tell its own story in a way that is unique to photographs.
