"street pill" seems like a kid swearing for the effect.
luckily blogs like that are easy to ignore.
I think a mentor on street photography could be beneficial, IF the people who genuinely want help/guidance etc use it, not just everyone who wants to complain that we don't need a mentor for it.
no offense intended to anyone BTW.

I have had some success with my street work. I had a one man show in April 2013 (35 prints). Was in a juried show at the Soho Gallery in New York last July. There were over 2600 images submitted and only 40 where selected. I have a show here in Chicago in March (all here are invited). Scroll down to March.

I am willing to help anyone that asks. Not saying that I am any kind of expert or should be a mentor to anyone but I do have clear ideas of how I work and what works for me. I tend to stay clear of just random shots of people not knowing they are getting their pictures like just big heads of strangers. I like to try and incorporate repeating shapes, leading lines and geometry into my work. Bresson is an influence as well as Meyeowitz, Robert Frank and of course Winogrand.
I have virtually no on line presence outside a few photography sites like here.

cheers, found his site.
Just another blogger with some decent images and opinions, and i do like the way he PPs his work.
Then he goes and lives in Mexico and does erotica...big fuking deal.
A lot of arseholes (males) go to third world/poor countries and use their perverted minds to do whatever gets their rocks off.
....just my opinion 😉

How about a street photography forum with no restrictions, no mentors, no preconceived ideas about what is or what is not street photography- how about just a forum for people who want to post photos, discuss street photography, and who want to participate in a vibrant forum dedicated to this wonderful genre.

I think that some structure is a good thing. It could be something as simple as " you must post images to participate". "No gear talk".
Not wedded to any of these in particular but the thread needs to be different enough from the others to have any value

No, it was before that.. I think he was a former 'student' of Mr Kim, making similar moves as him. ..

I took a quick look at his blog. Some of his images are okay, some are generic, a couple are not too bad but I didn't see anything that yanked my eyeballs out of their sockets.
JMHO, but I think the guy thinks he is a better street photographer than he actually is. Regarding the vagina comment, *YAWN* nothing but a ploy to grab attention. 🙄
EDIT 1-14-15
Not that I entertain any delusions of grandeur about my own street photography, mind you. I am a realist and am fully aware of the fact that most of what I produce is crap. However, I keep pressing the shutter release and am slowly seeing positive progress.

This is a good idea & one that would be pleasing to anyone wanting to participate. Everyone can share ideas & benefit. Least I know I will. Lot's of good talent here.

Of all the various followings in photography the least co-ordinated are the Street folk. Why create another venue for "I'm Right and You're Not" ??

Gabor,
This was one of my issues. I believe Alex was a "feature" based on his fanboyism of Leica (as is obviously a pre-requisite of the Leica blog). This is when I first noticed him making claims of being a photojournalist but there being no evidence of it. Anywhere. Ever.
As for Eric being featured, this seems to be an exercise in meta by Leica - Eric is a blogger first and foremost. So, a blog feature about a blogger...
I could very well say that I'm a neurosurgeon - in fact I am. There. I demand a pay rise 😀

... well now you're an expert ... we should compile a list of people who need a bit of work doing, I suppose 🙂
