I like the idea of making cohesive and visually ordered images out of random chaotic urban scenes. A sort of 'more is better' maxim rather than the advice, usually given, that 'less is better'. Images that really do give a sense of place. In some ways they are harder to find and see than the more purist, minimalism type photography where a subject is reduced to the bare essentials. Sometimes the whole vista is the subject with layer upon layer of visual interest. I admire the photography of Lee Friedlander. You can see some of his work here: Masters of photography. Here is my attempt of such a street scene. I'm on the look out for some more.
