New Street GM :: DD :: Street Education Initiative

Journal Entry: Thu Jul 1, 2010, 9:56 PM
There's a new street GM. Go over to :iconkyle28: page & say hi.

Oh, and his first DD was awarded to



so obviously he knows what he's doing ;)

How can you help him do his job? Here's an idea. When you come across a photo in the street category that doesn't meet dAs definition of street photography (that's deviantArt's definition, not yours), copy and paste the following into the comments:

This is a nice photo but, by deviantArt's definition of street photography, I don't think it belongs in the street category. dA defines street photography as candid photography in public space and I don't think this fits. If you need a more visual definition, please see the galleries of #street or #The-Yard-Collective. If you take a longer look at the available categories, there are plenty of subcategories under Urban & Rural where this image would better go. Again, this is not meant to be offensive. This is part of viral street photography education campaign started by `bQw. Please direct any comments to him.

Thank you!


Make sense? Comments?

Let's see if people implement it. That's when it will work.
