I like what you're doing with these city life shots. It's so important to catch these scenes that will never be quite the same as time passes, and you're doing a fine job.
But it's time you got a set of fast primes, don't you think? Your photography is begging for finer detail at the point of focus, and creamy smooth backgrounds that need wider apertures and lower ISOs. What lens is this? The Exif doesn't say so I guess it's not a Pentax. Hmmm, f4 but non-Pentax, is it the fisheye and you've de-fished the image in software? I can't help thinking that with fast short tele (even a 50) you could frame this shot tighter without the empty expanse of pavement in the fore & middle-ground. Perhaps it's time to apply for an arts grant. You've got a promising series up and running. I think the state can afford a small outlay to document the future's history.
