Another great set of photos, Bongo. I watch each video several times because I notice different things each time.

Thanks Donna. Street Photography photos are normally viewed in book form - where you can self-pace - Putting them together as video presents all sorts of issues.

for starters you expect a video to be a moving picture not a set of stills.

The photos were not taken with any theme in mind, but where possible only arranged in some loose category. --the downside of that is you then expect some story progression - a premise, conflict or complication, denouement, etc. Which doesn't happen because they're random candid photos.

These are unconscious expectations now wired in our brains thru hundreds of thousands of hours watching video, plus for the most part people are unaware of the challenges and goals of street photography and therefore not sure what to make of it. But I truly appreciate your kind words and support.
