Thanks Warp.  Yes, I find a fascination in the second photo with the 
density of information and simultaneity of events.  That sense, perhaps 
the 'ambience' of urban life to which you refer, is what I find so 
captivating about the city and is something that I can remember excited 
me from the very first time I got off the bus exactly 30 years ago.  I 
can remember how, in those days, I used to write letters to friends 
describing my experiences here, and would dwell on the activity, on a 
single street corner, in a single moment.

Interesting to me about that second photo is the car's rearview mirror. 
  It is both tiresome and unavoidably cliche, but also very difficult to 
avoid including when framing shots from inside the window of the car.  I 
wonder if it could add a 'dimension' to be exploited with this kind of 
image.

A further dimension that is not communicated in the shot is how I am 
taking it while simultaneously turning to deal with the instructions 
from a customer, who is himself barking at me as he is in the process of 
climbing into the car.
