Remember this:

You can take pictures of anything as long as it is public. There might be some cops telling you, you can't take pictures but do not let them fool you.

I enjoy your use of crisp colors in your urban landscapes. One of my favorites in that series is the second row, third photo (the one from inside the house looking outward). I like the surreal nature of that photo. I think you have a good ability to "tell a story" in your street photos.

One tip though: watch how you compose your photos. I'm noticing that some of the street shots are slightly crooked. Also, you may want to think more about how the background of your subject correlates with your foreground.

well with street photography i go for a ''snap shoot'' type look so it looks so natural to the street and the way i saw it. but ill def give it a shot. thanks for the kind words.

Cant wait for the pics from the "dump areas". Which neighborhoods are you planning to take pics from? East Tremont/West Farms?
