Alleys Are Cool, And Other Symptoms Of Eccentricity

I  have always thought alleys are great subjects for the camera.  Not only do they often have fire escapes, murals, and even alley houses that make for great photographs, but you can also usually photograph all manner of people walking down them.  Of course, in the suburbs there are no alleys, which is still another thing that I hate about them.  No wonder they are so sterile and boring.  I say what the suburbs need to do is to start putting alleys behind all those suburban ranches and spit levels in an effort to liven the place up.  And I would just love to be the one photographing the resident's  reactions for posterity.
