A few good photos but some seem staged, posed or generic. I think Dilemma by Hokioi really represents the essence of street photography a true moment capturing the ”Dilemma” between the dogs, owners, onlooker and the couple caught between them.

-next time can you label the pics differently, it can get confusing if the caption is for the pic above or below when scrolling through.

Great site otherwise, will checkout your flickr group.

I think there’s more than just “a few good photos” here. The one I keep returning to is “Ignoring the snow. by Sonia Nansid”.

Good stuff, reducing it to just 30 must must have been a fairly monumental challenge. Can’t say I agree with all your choices, but that would be impossible It is a nice selection.

Awesome selection, Eric!

‘Story-Telling’ is fantastic! Great blog post, and great blog in general!

These are ok, nothing great, a couple are spectacular, but no where near inspirational, no images from Felix Lupa or Sagi Kortler?!? these two are brilliant visionaries….or what about your hero, Charlie Kirk?!?

For real street photography, check this guys latest work, amazing and refreshing, pure brilliance, makes eric kim look, lets say, a wannabe http://www.flickr.com/photos/77924757@N03/
