Our main street is a place where people come to have a good time. There are excellent restaurants, nice independent shops, and lots of music at night. The energy on Atlantic Ave. is very high, and that is what I wanted to capture -- the energy of people enjoying Atlantic Ave.

This strikes me more as a (very good) "street" photo than a main street one. The stories here are local and personal: the guy on the phone hearing Vanilla Ice is back on tour, the wall of suits protecting their feeding grounds from encroaching commuters.
the first two things that catch my eye in this are 1st thing - the guy with the cig on the phone, then the 3 business men on the left (plus one but he's barely visible) - all 3 seem to be looking to the left and all 3 have the same basic arm swing going on - then I'm drawn deeper into the picture - I have to pull back to see the folks at the table - I like this picture very much
