Been back a couple times and refreshed the impressions of these pictures. I think the second one finally is ending up as my preferred choice. The grittiness actually suits the implied theme in an excellent manner and by avoiding being too personal in the depiction, the image ends being of universal applicability and tells a timeless story. Kudos for that one and by all means for the rest of them as well.

Thank you once again Akira and Bjørn. I am enjoying the comments and your thoughts. It means a lot to me.

Same with me. Concerning the second, here's the picture by Stieglitz (1922) that sprang to my mind when I saw yours. From the remarkable book "the ongoing moment" by Geoff Dyer.

My preference goes for #3 - lets me think of Sam Haskins -  I have the same problem with #1: the old hands.
