Well rationalized and inspiring. But wish all the types had photo examples, especiallly "The Abstract." Love the taxonomy. Well rationalized and inspiring.

In general I just walk around and try and see something that interests me (easy in China). I guess I am not sure at the time what style they fall into, I would say that most are of the portrait and humanity kind. The juxtaposition can be hard at times unless you have found a place that allows you to shoot time and time again to get the elements to line up. In any case, I just go and shoot and try not to think too much - unless a scene reminds me of someone else's photo and then for sure I try to replicate or extend how I thought the other photog did it. Cheers, RF. Hmm,

I've come to hate the ubiquity of some of these types of street photography, and am hopeful that someday I can achieve the all/none shots, but would they mean anything in this mass of images we have all created?
