For the next 12 months I will be your Street CV. Poor bastards... :lol:

So, just a few guidelines:
1 - SUGGEST STREET IMAGES ONLY (because me is the Street CV)
2 - NO SELF SUGGESTIONS (let's be altruistic!)
3 - NO GIANT CENTERED WATERMARKS (I'd like to SEE the image)
4 - SUGGEST STREET IMAGES ONLY!
5 - SUGGEST STREET IMAGES ONLY!!
Did I mention I feature only street images?
Yeah, that's worth noting twice.
But what is Street?
Well, this is kind of a philosophical question, so let's go for an operative definition:

Street photography is:
"un-posed, un-staged photography which captures, explores or questions contemporary society and the relationships between individuals and their surroundings"

No surroundings, no background? Likely no street image.
No humanity, no human presence implicit? Likely no street image.
Posed, staged? Likely no street image.
No connection between elements, no surprise, no wonder, no story, no emotion? Well, likely not GOOD street image.

Where can you find Street?
