Old street pics..

It reminds me of that post-atomic war film - was it "The Beach"? - where they wanted a shot of empty streets in Manhattan. They filmed at 5:00am on a Sunday when there was virtually no traffic and people and could cordon off vast areas! I remember it like that, but with more traffic and people.

Maybe it was before an air raid or very early morning. When I worked at Cov Eve Tel the reps used to say the same when they asked the photographer to take shopping Street pictures for shopping features, there was never any people in them, never! Or inside a shop, there was never anyone inside!
