At first I thought this was a thread about a Burning Man type event for the over 40 set.

You may want to check out "Street Photography." It's got a long tradition. Here are links to a couple of famous photogs, but I highly recommend you get some books from the library and or find their work in museums and galleries. You are in good company. I really enjoy looking at the world through your POV.

One of the things that is cool about Atget's work is that in much of it the streets are deserted. I don't remember if he went out early in the day or if the lack of people was a function of extremely long exposure times.

Very enjoyable work, Glatt.
