Yes. I used the same texture file for all of those Atlanta images. 
(I'm lazy). So you might see repeating image textures.

I simply keep a huge folder on my hard drive called "Textures". 
It's full of really boring copyshots of rusted steel, clouds, 
sheetrock walls, trains, pavement, fabric, etc. Each texture has 
its own 'personality', and you match up a texture to a photograph. 
It's actually very fun. I'm always shocked at how much it adds to 
an image; doesn't work every single time, but much more often 
than not.

But the key is also finding the proper Layer Mode that gives you 
the desired look. Of the ten or so built-in choices within 
Photoshop, they're all very different.
