So we've all seen street photography of Paris, NYC, London, Tokyo, etc.

But are there any good sites out there with African street photos? Cities like Lagos, Dakar, Windhoek, Accra, Monrovia, or countless others?
 
Don't know how available his images are online, but Raymond Depardon has photographed regularly in Africa for decades. A good chunk of his Voyages is dedicated to images from Africa (some quite rural / desert areas, other more urban). And his book, Villes / Cities / Stadte, contains images (all color) from Addis-Abeba, Dubai, Johannesburg, and Cairo (among other cities like Moscow, New York, Shanghai, Rio de Janeiro, etc.)
 
There are some in here: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/freakscene/Africa+2009/ I took in various cities and towns in Southern Africa.

ah, great shots... I love the Namibia gallery!

Thanks for looking.

I found photographing in Africa much less dangerous than some believe. You need to take reasonable care, but in many African countries and cities street photography is achievable without undue risk to the photographer's safety.
