This photo is captured by panoramic mode as standing in the corner of the foreign exchange shop as the turning point. All the shops are faced to the main street. People in the main street are shopping, standing or walking as it is a public place. However, no shops are opened to face the alleyway. There are mainly entrance of kitchen, washroom and back doors. People in the alleyways are mostly relaxing, sitting and playing phones. It seems that alleyway is a private place. People can find out the different environment from alleyway which they are not usually walk to and compare with the main street they always walk through.

    I enjoy your interest in contrast, such as your example of street art in combination with everyday objects and architectural elements. This could easily work as a starting point about street art and its connection/combination/difference to everyday urban life. The idea of a panoramic shot to capture the differences of inside and outside a back alley works fine as well.
