I'm new to the site, so my apologies if this has been done recently (I'm sure it's already been done, but I'm hoping not for at least a year ;-).

After two challenges focusing on studio-esque shots and advanced editing (full-length studio portrait and fashion 2), it would feel to me like a nice change to have "street" photography with basic editing.

Wikipedia has a nice definition: "Street photography is a type of documentary photography that features subjects in candid situations within public places such as streets, parks, beaches, malls, political conventions, and other settings." The fact that there doesn't have to be a "street" involved is why I keep putting that word in quotes. ;-) So maybe to avoid having people mark shots down as DNMC because they don't show a street, the challenge could be called "Candid public photography" or something?

It has been done 3 times before - but not for over a year as far as I remember. This is the last I believe:

Street Photography III

Street Photography II

I like the street-style challenges...too chicken to actually go out and get a shot...but still, it always makes me want to go out and get brave.

I would be surprised if we don't have one for the DPL season.

Oh don't do Street Photography, at least not until the beginning of June when some of us will be in NYC. :) That week would be just perfect.

Hmm, that screams unfair advantage to me and since I'm super jealous I can't join you I think doing it in June is a REALLY bad idea ;)
