Well, maybe it's quite the opposite; I see that John finds it quite interesting, and he's English. Maybe because I'm not English, and I've never been there (as you have), there's something I'm missing. As I said, the photo didn't move ~me~, but that's not to say that it wouldn't move others. And, obviously, it did move you, it meant something to you, as it obviously is a very "London" shot in your mind (much as my Chinatown scooter shot is a very "New York" shot for me). So, I say let's see more street shots from London! I look forward to them (as I look forward to all your shots). cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
