First street shot....

It was around 1980 and I was just starting to understand the mechanics behind taking pictures.  I was taking a photography class where we developed our own film and I started experimenting with different types of shots.  I remember that I had just figured out that a smaller aperture meant a greater depth of field.  And, that a greater depth of field meant I didn't have to concentrate as much on focusing.  This led me to begin walking the streets with a camera that was pre-set for what I now know was street photography.  

This was the first shot that I took that I would classify as a street photography shot.  I developed it and printed it... and scanned it.  It's called "Brick Woman".

Mailbox Dominos

Foot Adjustment Stop

I noticed this guy standing dominantly on the steps of the former AT&T building in lower Manhattan. Nice balance considering the architecture. 

Then to fill out the composition of the scene, this guy filled the void:

As soon as he was gone, another person came in to take advantage of this location for a foot adjustment.  

Almost as if they are Greek forms in statuesque positions.
