I've never really done "street". I'm not comfortable putting a camera in my friends and family's faces. I always feel very much like I'm going to be the subject of strong suspicion, if I point my camera in the direction of people in public. Explains why my photography is almost always of static subjects.
But, I also don't really care for wading through a bunch of street pictures. First, I'm not really a people person ( how's that for a person in the ministry for nearly 45 years!). And, as has been described already, too many published "street" pictures just don't have a "story", past, present, or future. Also, most of the time the pictures are posted in B&W, because it's the popular "thing", or because they won't stand up in color. I love a really good B&W picture. But, it does not say, "today" for me. B&W to me shouts yesteryear, when photography was still in its childhood, like black and white TV.
But, If you post one or two really good "yesteryear", shots, I will still enjoy and appreciate them, and your effort!
