Goodbye Street GalleryIn few days, a whole year will have passed since the day I took over dA's Street Gallery as Street Community Volunteer.
A neglected gallery, full of misplaced images, but also with many worthy submissions.
I visited this galllery everyday, cleaning it (the 24h and 1month popular pages) and informing the photographers of the misplaced images (every single one of them), what Street is all about.
At the same time, 3 days per week, I featured a worthy image as a Street Daily Deviation, taking in account your suggestions as well. The featured images were not necessarily the "best" of the featured deviants. My intention was not to feature "bests" but to draw the community's attention, to active Street photographers, both experienced and new to the genre, in order to boost their dedication to Street. I am content because a lot of times I succeeded.
During this year, a lot of people helped me with their suggestions and with working in Groups, promoting the genre and de

There's something about StammyStam, you know you're one of the responsible for me start
doing Street photography. I still remember that reply, once, on FB:
"Don't forget, street is a serious thing!... " So, not only I have to
thank you for guiding me into the right path, but also for being such an
inspiration to us all, with your talent and engaging effort, for
promoting Street Photography to the highest level in dA, and most of
all... for being there.
Yeap, "Mr. Street", you're a great guy.

"Stam's work is a best practise of voluntary work proving how far you can
reach doing something you are passionate about. One can not imagine the
amount of work he has put into this. If there was a Street

are many of us out there just taking all kind of stuff for granted.

Saul Leiter - Vertical and AbstractAs you know, I normally don't do (features) Journals.
The exception goes to those photographers that had some historical importance in the photography World, those that influence(d) me, those that I believe can move others like they moved me, humanitarian photographers, and that normally live in the "shadow" of the same old Features and references.
This one is not the case, because I'm talking about Saul Leiter.
He was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, his father was a well known Talmud scholar and Saul studied to become a Rabbi. At age 23, he left theology school and moved to New York City to become an artist. He had developed an early interest in painting, like so many photographers. His mother gave him his first camera, a Detrola camera, when he was 12 years old.
He was soon taking black and white pictures with a 35 mm Leica, which he acquired by exchanging a few Eugene Smith (exceptional photographer from Life magazine, among others) prints for it. By 1948 he began to ex

EXCEPTIONAL PHOTOGRAPHERS ON deviantART. Edit. nov:iconThePeopleAvenue: presents a new series of features.
Talented photographers are interviewed and talk about themselves and their relationship with Photography.
The first one is Marius, a photographer from Romania, a.k.a. :iconmarius1956:
TPA: Tell us a few things about yourself.
Marius: My name is Marius Georgescu, I live in Bucharest, the capital of Romania. Next January, I will be 57. I'm in a long-term relationship with a beautiful and smart woman, Sorina - 42 years old.
TPA: How did your relationship with Photography begin and how has it developed through the years?
Marius: My first encounter with Photography was 35 years ago, when an old friend and mentor taught me the basics of photographic art. After 5 years of self-study, I was admitted to the National Academy of Cinematography. Five years later, I graduated as a director of photography but I didn't get any assignment in the field of the film image since the Romanian Revolution , in1990. I was employed in the Romanian Public

TSF: A "Posters In The Street" FeatureStreet Photography:
Posters! Posters!! Posters!!!
"Everyone in the business world knows the importance of
posters and ads in advertising for specific products.
Posters are an integral part of advertising. An eye-catching, attractive poster
that conveys a professional, compelling message about a product, service
or event will invariably hold the user's attention."**
That is until a Street Photographer comes along....
Posters, Billboards, Large Display Panels, etc. they're all around us!
Every street corner, building and display window in this ad-mad world of ours is adorned with these
wonderfully enticing, heavily photoshopped and grossly misleading sheets of prevarication.
Malls, museums, art galleries, subway, bus stations, airports, public toilets....
great places for (non pervy) Street Photographers to hang out on a slow day.
Now add posters into the mix and "BAM!" we have a great photo op on our hands!
If you're starting out in Street Photography, I'd say look

:iconmarx77:
My son and I were crossing a street through an alley in Al Diyafah - Dubai, when I saw the bicycle and immediately noticed that the blowing air current, along with the excess cargo of flattened and stacked cardboard boxes was making the front wheel rise up from the ground slightly and then descend once the wind subsided.
I instinctively knew that something was about to go down - or up. So I asked my son to 'SLO' down: Stop, Look, and Observe, while I got my camera ready.
And we waited. We were standing there for like, 20 seconds when this guy walks in frame....
Then it happens: The front wheel goes up, the guy is baffled, and my son and I are standing there barely holding ourselves from rolling on the floor, laughing! It was a good day.
P.S. We helped him with his bicycle afterwards.

Street BumsDosser, Hobo, Lowlife, Tramp, Contemptible Git...

...are just some of the few non-R-rated names a homeless person goes by.
In 2005, the United Nations conducted a survey which put the number of homeless at an estimated 100 million, worldwide.
As of 2012, the unofficial estimate is anywhere between 250 to 300 million.
But that's not what this journal is about.
Many of us are uncomfortable with photographing homeless folk because it feels like some sort of exploitation, like we're taking advantage of their misery.... stuff like that.
The main purpose of this journal is to invite fellow deviants to discuss, ask questions - maybe even attempt to answer a few of them, so that we can better understand the ethical conflicts, the stigma (faced by photographers - especially Street photographers), and the moral risks associated with taking candid photos of the homeless in a public place, without their consent.
Monologues are welcome.

While you reflec

EXCEPTIONAL PHOTOGRAPHERS ON deviantART. Ed. APRILSunny greetings from Greece everyone!

For this month's feature I chose someone I admire for his talent, his mediterranean temperament and his emotional generosity, Doug Richards :iconDougNZ:

- Tell us a little about yourself.
- I’m the youngest of 14 children – 7 brothers and 7 sisters
I was born and still live in Auckland, New Zealand, though I spent years travelling and living abroad in the UK, Europe, Australia, Philippines and USA.
Last year I made a huge career change after decades of selling new houses to working as an Employment Broker helping to get the unemployed back into work – less than half the income for me but ten times the satisfaction.
Two kids – a boy and a girl. Two grandkids – a boy and a girl.
- How did your relationship with Photography begin and how has it developed through the years?
- I’m so old that I can remember taking photos of my brother with a Kodak Box Brownie. I

Matt WeberMatt Weber shots his way through life.
Started out as a taxi driver and saw so many things on the streets that he kept saying "If only I had a camera…" A camera seemed like the only way to capture the crazy stuff which was happening almost every night.
Claims that the 70's were more interesting than the 80's, but in December 1984 bought a competitive camera, an AE-1 and a 50mm lens.
Started out in color film, but one year after he turned to b/w, because color was tricky to develop.
Thinks that failure is important, and that failing over 99% of the time and not giving up is something to be proud of. Takes "awful pictures on a daily basis and always will. There aren't too many other types of photography where that's the expected result."
Suffered from the photographic equivalent of "Writer's Block" for many years and it would be the crazy decision to spend most of my savings on a pair of M6′s and a few lenses that helped him to comeback. "The 28mm & 35mm lenses are the perfec
