Instagram Account Collects And Shares Pictures That Capture Chance Encounters In Public Places (50 New Pics)
Nowadays, street photography, which aims to capture mirror reflections of society, often portrays the urban environment we live in. Street photographers go out into the streets to capture the important and little aspects of life from a stranger's perspective to create tiny time capsules of our world that can be viewed anytime.
The "Street Photographers" Instagram page could be described as a big time capsule with the platform being dedicated to featuring street photography from all around the world. The main goal of the page (and the organization behind it) is to offer a platform for up-and-coming photographers, artists, and designers to exhibit their work in order to generate opportunities and open new doors.
To see more cool street photographs, make sure to click here and here for parts 1 and 2.

The "Street Photographers" Instagram page is actually also a foundation meant for street photographers. The page only showcases and brings light to new and old works of photographers from all over the world, however, there is more than one person working on it. For the years 2020 and 2021, the foundation has hosted two award competitions for street photographers to participate in.

My grandpa Horace used to do this for his cats. They adored him

Grandpa used to do this at every milking. Happy Farm kitties!!
Unfortunately, adult cats, like almost all adult mammals, are lactose intolerant. So the cats likely had some nasty diarrhea later... Lactose persistence in adults is a mutation that is most common in Scandinavia, and, to a lesser extent, parts of East and West Africa. Most adult humans are lactose intolerant.
The awards are described by the founders as, a "commitment in detecting talented people with the ability to shoot astonishing, marvelous, motivating, satisfying, splendid and unsolicited instants all over the globe. The purpose of these awards is identifying talented professionals, students and even dilettantes and their individual inclinations. Do not hesitate in taking part in the annual street photographers foundation street photography."

Google lens search: "A photo that tells the story of the Syrian drama. A very, very special photograph that won the Siena international photo awards (Sipa) 2021 was taken by the Turkish Mehmet Aslan . The photo, which comes from the district of Reyhanli, in the Turkish province of Hatay located on the border with Syria, shows a man whose leg was mutilated by a bomb that fell while he was walking in a bazaar in Idlib in Syria, while taking in arm the son, Mustafa aged 5, born without arms and legs following a malformation caused by the assumption of drugs by the mother affected, during the war, also by nerve gas. “That photo has reached the world. We will do everything to give him a better life” – said the child's mother. Mustafa will need prosthetics which, unfortunately, are not yet available in Turkey." https://www.cronaca.news/hardship-of-life-e-la-foto-che-ha-vinto-al-siena-international-photographer-bambino-siriano-senza-arti-e-papa-mutilato-a-causa-di-una-bomba/

"Different eyes can see different things. Every day is different since people see it from different points of view. Yet there are similar factors such as craving the capture of unsolicited instants of the daily life, the competency of bestowing order in mayhem the world is facing today. As it has already been seen, some the top photographers were originally street photographers and we are honored to say we have a part in elucidating a chance for this group."

If I had to guess, I'd say a daughter or little sister packed him a travel bag, but who cares.
The cynic is me says he's a rookie and it's a hazing. I've seen baseball players do similar.

I agree. Wish they'd tell us about some of these. This is so touching.

The above pic is a cover art from the 2018 Brazilian Film O Avental Rosa (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7644878/). I highly doubt if there is a tragic story behind it. However, the cover art itself is inspired by Ms Bahareh Bisheh (https://www.flickr.com/photos/khatt-khatti/), who is an Iranian photographer from Isfahan, Iran. Take a look at the original pic (https://www.flickr.com/photos/khatt-khatti/7577505576/) which was taken in 2012. The pics don't have a tragic background; her niece was just tired after playing and fell asleep.
No— this is the photographer’s niece who got tired and fell asleep. The other story is a made up heart wrenching horrible piece of fiction. Thank heavens.

Definitely from the late 50's or early 60's. Check out the cars in the parking lot.
I wish I had been born and had grown up in this era. I wasn't made for the 2000's
Girl, same!! But then my mind quickly goes to the racial injustice of the time, so that wouldn't work either

The photographer, Vivian Maier, was completely unknown until after her death. She took tons of stunning street photos that were only discovered after she died in 2009. Now her galleries can be seen online.
Vivian Maier was an amazing amateur photographer. She took thousands of photos in NY

I hate it but this will be me. Everyone I know including my husband wants to quit.. eff that. I love smoking. I know how stupid I sound. I wish I could feel differently but 🤷🏼♀️
I'm the same as you, I love sitting down and rolling a cigarette, that lovely harsh smoke going down the throat...aahhhh *cough* my theory is....I gotta die of something and who knows, some idiot in a car could kill me anyway as I travel to work or I've seen plenty of "fit" people who never smoked, die before 40. I've made it that far smoked 25years im 40

Surprised she lived that long with the smoking and all. (Not trying to be rude. Hope she lives the rest of her life to the fullest)
I think it has a lot to do with a persons genes. We see little kids with terminal cancer. People dying of lung cancer that never smoked.

I'm impressed with the alignment. I doubt I could have pulled it off.
Not gonna lie, I see nothing but cat balls. Someone please explain to me what I am missing?!
The expression on the other cat's face. He's like, dude, did you see those BALLZ???
Load More Replies...I wonder how many kittens were born, and put in shelters, or left to die outside, because this cat was not neutered.
If I tried to take a picture like this, I'd be laughing too hard at the reflection to hold still.
Is this the villain in a Stephen King short story? You can only see him through your phone camera...dun dun dun

For all of the wings of a sallow and the dirty geat a** of a crow, Up to the top of the staple I'd fly and sh't on the people below!
"We are out over the ocean/can't even get close to land/We can't fly to San Capistrano/past the Fourth Interceptor Command!" Signed, the Swallows. (I know, I'm showing my age, lol.)
When we lived in San Diego, right around 4:30-5:00ish every night the crows would fly over heading west. We could always tell when they were coming because there was a relay system of calling them all in. For about 10 minutes the sky was absolutely filled with black, winged creatures. It was creepy & thrilling all at the same time. We literally could not count them all.

"Daddy, where are all of them going?" the little girl asked. The father paused from scrolling on his phone, took a sip off of his latte and glanced around. Just an empty courtyard. He glanced at his phone. The little girl sighed, looked back at the throng of phantoms which strolled by.

Ok to be fair, I don't think that's a legit nun, maybe someone dressed up...but great pic anyways!
My friend who was 8 months pregnant wore a nun's costume for Halloween. The looks she got!!
We can bet she tells some filthy jokes too. I've been around enough nuns to know they are more of an old girl's club than anything else.

It didn't rain much in San Diego, but when it did it was stupendous. It took less than 5 minutes to have 3 feet of water racing down the culvert. Being from the PNW I loved it. I was that "weird neighbor" who went out in my rain boots and danced in the puddles without a single regret. (I'm 59).

We were still doing this in the 70s when I was young (but then the local council changed the lamp posts and on the new design there was no longer a cross bar you could tie ropes to). And they took away the "Witches hat" frame from the local playground claiming it was too dangerous. Spoiled all our fun.
"They" are working hard to give us a funless existance.
