Barry, the best part about street photography there in Manhattan is they don't even give you a second look! These shots look great in black in white. Really adds to the gritty of the streets. Too bad you can add smell! Know what I mean?
Good use of black and white for this subject--it just seems to work. I like both of these shots because they look like every day life in a big city. The compositions are straight forward and you can readily identify what the photographer wants you to view. Good job!

I like them both. I think the choises of black and white and a slanted horizon work well on both shots.
Thanks Larry!
I wish I would have spent more time just hanging around and photographing folks as they took care of their affairs.
Cheers!

Thanks Shirley and Patrick!
Shirley - I don't have any memory of any specific smells in NY and my guess is that that is a good thing! :-)
Patrick - I like the shots for the same reasons you point out. Whatever else you can say about New York it is definitely fascinating!
Cheers!
