Dave, I think the blurring/lack of focus is a very real problem. I'm not a big fan of street photography and have been asking why. I see lots of common, everyday images snapped from the environment. They don't sing to me, yet I can find a gallery presentation interesting. I wonder if the distinction is in the collection and viewpoint shown. A single graphic image of your surroundings today is just a snapshot. (open to many interpretations, and lacking focus) A coherent collection of similar photos begs my mind to find the theme, and interpret the results. Of course, it's a lot more work to create a coherent collection... Regards, Bob S.
