[Frameworks] voyeurism / street photography in exp cinema

[matt's frameworks address]

Thank you all for the great suggestions and ideas.  Truly appreciated.

I also very much like Chuck's "observational street film" tag- perhaps the
best moniker for the style of filmmaking I am interested in.

THANKS!!!
