Thought I would post this as street photography is often depitced as being either very sneaky, done from a long distance with a snoopy telephoto or sneaky point and shoot -- or shown as very "in-your-face" shooting. So I (at least) found it refreshing to see a different style of street photography and interaction.

Indeed a breath of fresh air; thanks for posting! Reminds me a bit of the style of David duChemin as he describes in his book, "Within the Frame".

You lost me... [/QUOTE]

Magnum Photos is a photographic collective. Cartier- Bresson, Capa, Chim, etc. It's a pretty prestigious group and it'd probably be the best thing you could have on a photo resume.
