Street-69 Challenge is on!

May 3rd, 2020
Thank you Junko @jyokota for hosting the last street challenge (street-68) ending in an undeserved majority vote for my photo of a senior gentleman walking with his mask on, head bowed to his own thoughts in these difficult times.

And thank you to all those who voted, of course!

This month will hopefully see many of us allowed out again - This will happen in Italy tomorrow (with many limitations, though) and this is why I waited to launch the new challenge, hoping that street photographers will find new opportunities. Let’s remember, however, that a street photography does not necessarily imply a large human presence, it’s much more about those curious, funny, thoughtful, unexpected, meaningful, happy or sad events we occasionally stumble in while out with our camera, that, as small as they may be, catch a glimpse of reality.

Here are the links posted in the last call for entries by Junko, where the thing is explained with much more authority than by me:
