3.  That first shot is nice...reminds me of one of those "Day in the Life" collections
color, movement, vantage-point, composition,...very pleasing to the eye and mind. :thumbsup:

4. Strange thing is
this place is really an obnoxious shopping environment, yet a great way of getting to a couple of subway stations, and a handy shortcut to head quite a way uptown without having to go outside.

There is a certain vitality and urban pulse in the scene, I guess, but actually being in there often reminds me of Romero's original Dawn of the Dead.

5. Ah...you have experienced a wider reality, as opposed to the "reality" communicated by the photo...
I think this is the thing Sontag addresses in her essays "On Photography." I have purchased the book, but haven't found time to read it yet. Maybe at those points where I am about to claw my eyes out reading for "British-Atlantic World" I can take short breaks to read her essays.
