July 2011 Photo Competition: Street photography

[kropotkin]

This Month's theme is Street Photography

From wikipedia:

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.

I am thinking mainly of candid unposed photography of people in the context of public thoroughfares, but you may choose to interpret it differently.

Entries:

* It is encouraged, but not essential, that people enter new photos
* Up to 3 pictures allowed per person
* Post up the link, not the picture
* All entries must be in by July 31th 2011, by the stroke of midnight
* Only use pictures you photographed yourself
* If you edit the picture then it'd be nice if you tell us what you did
* Please don’t change pictures once you have entered them

Voting:

* Starts on August 1st 2011 and closes at the end of August 3rd 2011
* Anyone can vote. You don't have to have entered
* Vote for your 1st, 2nd and 3rd favourites
* 1st choice is worth 3 points, 2nd choice is worth 2 points and 3rd choice is worth 1 point
* The entry with the most points wins, and chooses the next theme.

I think this theme may inspire me to actually go out and take some shots specifically for it rather than just raiding my collection
