I agree completely about Central Park. Pictures of people in the park.
Period. But take a look at Brooklyn Gangs, if you haven't.

I bought the Central park book a couple of years back and after getting over
the initial wow over the use of panoramics and the starling chick snap,
found it very repetitive and strangely hohum. But East 110th Street (or
whatever) was wonderful. One day I'll take a 10x8 to Bombay.
