Streets Ahead – Flo Fox – 10 Minute Video Documentary Full of Inspiration, Life and Love!
Please take a few minutes to watch this 10 minute documentary on acclaimed street photographer Flo Fox. Brooklyn based filmmaker Riley Hooper created this film entitled ‘Flo: Portrait of a Street Photographer’. This is the film’s description – ‘This 10-minute documentary explores the life and work of photographer Flo Fox, who, despite blindness, multiple sclerosis, and lung cancer, continues to shoot the streets of New York City. No longer able to hold a camera, she instructs her aides to take photos for her. She’s an incredible woman with a feisty spirit, sharp wit, and dirty sense of humor’. FLO from Riley Hooper on Vimeo.

Streets Ahead – Challenge 3 – Showcase
Welcome to the showcase for our third challenge, ‘Layering’ (the use of reflections – in a building’s glass, a puddle or another shiny object.).

Streets Ahead – Tired of Ads? Artist Acts Out!
Just posting this again as the link with attachment did not appear to work when I shared it directly with our Facebook group Streets Ahead.

One that most definitely appeals to me and I’m sure it would to our readers here – imagine how beautiful the streets would be, graced with your wonderful artwork… See the complete article here

Streets Ahead – 30 Under 30: Women Photographers
Fabulous images and article from LensCulture highlighting Paris-based Photo Boite – now in its fifth year. “Photo Boite has featured 30 women photographers each year who are making work today that deserves worldwide attention. What is it like, then, to be a female photographer, to be a woman who has seized hold of an instrument of which she traditionally remains in front, and to use her eye to view the world, rather than use it to throw back a soft, muted glance into the receiving end of a male gaze? It may sound primitive to talk of the female photographer in such a way, but as the photographers of Photo…

Streets Ahead – Thirty Second Edition – Mobile Street Photography
Welcome to the 32nd edition of “Streets Ahead.” My Goodness, it’s hard to believe that we’re now in our 30’s! It’s also hard to believe that we’re already a few months into 2014. Yep. March is now upon us. However, as I’m sitting here writing this, I have a huge smile on my face that I can’t erase. For no other reason than March is “Women’s History Month.” Personally, I think that every day should be “Woman”s Day”… but I know that ain’t happening anytime soon. I am, however, grateful that this is the month where we become conscious and aware of all the wonderful and brilliant contributions women make…
