SINE QUA NONSTREET PHOTOGRAPHY HEAVEN
*SUDOR :iconsudor:, a dA street legend. If you haven't seen his images before, prepare to develop the dreaded favitis severus, a nasty and dangerous disease indeed!

If I one day am half the shooter he is I will be happy!

STREET PHOTOGRAPHY FEATURESTREET ON DA
dA, as any community on the internet has its pro's and con's. For me the best part of dA has been The Yard Collective #The-Yard-Collective, a group for street photography aficionados of all skill levels from all corners of the world. For the last year I have had the priviledge of leading this group, but as of today this is no longer the case. Instead *NunoCanha is its new Skipper.
Anway, it was a blast and as a tribute to The Yards members as well as to the genre of street photography itself, I below showcase some of my favorite images that belong to the group. (Sorry fellow group admins, only non-admin members only, after all, they are the blood that is being pumped through the groups vains.)

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

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.

Reminds me so much of some of these old cartoons you see around Christmas time, like The Snowman. So sweet and dainty... a bit like you!
