The 2008 Street Photography Project is born out of a desire to show the world street photography as a legitimate art form. I am excited and honored that I will take part. Please keep in mind the rules while shooting, few as they are.

- Photos must be taken within the time frame of the project, April 1 - June 30.
- Photos must be taken with some form of rangefinder camera.
- Details such as equipment used and/or film/dev/processing should not be posted with the photo. This is to allow the photos to speak for themselves.
- Photos should be posted in the gallery between April 1 and July 15. This gives an extra two weeks to finish up processing and scanning if needed.

I am leaving the interpretation of the term Street Photography up to you. This is to get the widest interpretation of the genre possible. I would also love it if you would provide an explanation of what street photography means to you as a forward to your images in the gallery. This is optional, but highly recommended. It will allow people to better understand your vision.

The main objective is to get out there, shoot your rangefinders, and create some unforgettable images. This will make the project successful.

Thanks for driving this, Stephanie.

Is there someway we could post pics anonymously ?

Thanks,

I'm going to have a discussion with the Bartender about the gallery soon. I don't think there is a way, but if it's something a lot of people are interested in I could create a gallery using some other software and host it off site. I thought of that when I had this idea.
 
Thanks. I think it would make as much sense as leaving away equipment info.
The competition that Jorge organized a while back (winner RML) was anonymous,
I remember.

Best,

Roland.

I don't mean to quibble, but that seems to add a level of complexity, something I thought you were trying to avoid.

My vote is: Keep it simple.

There was a Magic Roll comp on here earlier in the year that had a work round for anonymity. Entries were emailed in & posted into the gallery by the competition organisers. I guess anyone seeking anonymity could perhaps seek out a similar method?
 
Okay, we'll do this.

I'll set up an email on my hosting account (which is paid up for the year, as is the domain, so no email will bounce) for anyone to use who wants to anonymously post their photos. That should be okay with everyone.
 
chikne, it's a real pity that you feel that way. I personally like the stuff you shoot and it will be a pity if you feel that you are unable to contribute to this project.

There is plenty of argument over the how's and why's of this in the other threads. Lets try to keep this particular thread clear of controversy eh?

It's Stephanies idea & she can set any rules she likes, we don't have to play if we don't want to.
 
Well Mick,

over the past day or so there has been a million threads started about that project. So this one is probably the best one to say something since it says "final" in the title....
 
Thanks!

Thanks!

I am really excited about this competition. I shoot an slr mainly but have a really cheap canon rangefinder I will use for the competition. I am not put off at all by the rules of the competition. They are what give it focus and make it interesting. There are plenty of places I can post pictures I took this month with my SLR, but in April I will have a renewed interest and focus to get more in touch with my rangefinder, and more focused on what I think "street photography" is as an art form. This makes me glad that I began to frequent the "RANGEFINDERFORUM.COM"!
 
This is a great idea. I would like to participate if possible. I don't think the anonymous posting is necessary, but I will go along with whatever is dictated.

So anything can be posted with respect to an individual's interpretation of "street"... no curation... just discussion?
This'll be fun!

No curation, but Stephanie has asked for "justification". ie why the image means "street" to you. At least that's how I interpret it.

Cheers.
