Good candid.....so it is possible to steal her bag in a faster way...She is lucky not to be in Italy(a few areas only)!

All those squares, horizontals and verticals on the bldg. and sidewalk form a perfect background for the lithe, sensuous woman. Perhaps it would look more interesting if someone DID steal her bag but I feel the black, gray and white image was perfectly captured as is. The shadow ties both woman and geometrics together.One of the best street gets I've yet seen on this gallery. It would go upon my wall. T

Yes, why don't they just drink it? And music is for listening to at home.

This is great... As Drobbia says, great juxtaposition between female form foreground and geometric shapes background... Black vs white... Seems to me she's cut herself off from everything around her... Shades on, earphones in, coffee cup out in front, bag out the back... Really good shot...

That's what I like about 'pure' street photography, the subject is totally unaware you're photographing them. Posed shots or pictures where the person is acting unnaturally because they are being photographed are not in my opinion street photos.
