WNYC Encourages Street Photography

I seriously doubt America needs more street photographers, though as a means of engaging people in photography it certainly beats the overhead heavy staged photograph genre.  Presumably knowing this, WNYC launches Street Shots Challenge, and asks people to submit photographs for a chance to win a video profile of themselves and their work.  A word of warning however; if the site tells you who’s judging this competition, I can’t find it, so it’s hard to know the level of talent being solicited, (though I suspect it targets a more casual photographer).  The more serious artists here might be happier to see a name like Jorg Colberg appear on the website somewhere as a judge, as opposed to WNYC staffers.  Entry deadline, 11:59 pm June 20th.
