The collective explains: "The NYC Street Photography Collective (NYC-SPC) is hosting its second
Bystander: A Street Photography Exhibit in San Francisco

Model, Arbus and Solomon in “We Are the Subject”
Many times, street photography is an act of self-discovery and self-expression. Often, the most powerful street photos are those that resonate deeply with the photographer himself, those in which the subject captured represents something within the photographer. Now, an exhibit at the Bruce Silverstein Gallery in New York is exploring this concept through the photographic works of three extremely talented women: Diane Arbus, Rosalind Fox Solomon and Lisette Model. Here's a little about the
Up Your Street Photography Game – with NASCAR?
You're probably thinking Bob needs to get rid of this North Florida girl right about now...I mean, are we really talking about NASCAR on a street photography blog?!

The Brilliant Urban Photo Race
The UPR is plain and simple a photo marathon. We haven't invented the wheel, although sometimes it does feel like it. In a nutshell, participants are asked to make a series of photos based on themes that are disclosed on the day itself, as they walk through the city along given checkpoints within a certain timeframe. For the UPR that means you need to make a series of 3 photos per theme, which can vary depending on the event (day events are 6 themes and night events are 3 themes). In the end
Through a Different Lens: A Stanley Kubrick Exhibit

Stanley Kubrick was the American screenwriter, director and producer behind a number of reknowned films including The Killing (1956), Dr. Strangelove (1964), 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), The Shining (1980) and Eyes Wide Shut (1999). With good reason, filmmaking was Kubrick's claim to fame. But did you know that before he made motion pictures, he was a street
Jerome De Perlinghi – Eyes on Main Street Photo Festival
Over the past few decades the downtowns of small-town America, which were once always busy, are all but extinct. First came the big box stores, then category killers like Best Buy and Toys “R” Us, and now Amazon sweeping them aside. But all these phenomenon resulted in. But all these phenomenon combined with our need to have lower prices resulted in the demise of small retailers and small downtowns. I’ve seen it myself in my own home town and I seen it in small towns throughout the country,
