I agree with you. Looking at street photos gets me in a very nostalgic mood. Artsy photos cannot.lot of what i shoot. Often i throw the artsy stuff out the proverbial window and just walk around and take photos. i think i might value my random photo pile of snapshots higher than my artsy pile. The artsy stuff is fun but when i look through them all i start to think it is all crap and creative b.s. and tend to start deleting. i will toss out ten abstracts before i consider deleting that simple street photo.I like them, especially #1 and #5. I like #5, because it has a familiar/local/personal feel to it.
all in what your priorities are. i like artsy stuff, do some, but it seems i started out 22 years ago walking around taking photos, and i am still there.I agree with you.

For example, each one of these photos brings up a specific memory for me, since I can relate to them.
