  • vtbarrera, on 02/03/2009, -3/+23Beautiful photos! The ones in black and white were especially dramatic. Smashing Magazine, yet again, comes up with a great artistic compilation. This time they presented some excellent examples of street photography.
  • inactive, on 12/14/2008, -1/+11Some of the photos are creepy.
  • oboshoe, on 12/15/2008, -2/+10I read that as "The Beauty of Street Pornography"

    I was very disappointed when I clicked the article.

    (Glad it was on on one page though)
  • ireland88, on 12/15/2008, -0/+6I love photography, hope I get a new lens for Christmas.
  • annjay, on 12/14/2008, -2/+7Nicely done photos.
  • sanguinekane, on 12/15/2008, -2/+6So what if they're were taken with point and shoot cameras? Photography is about the photographer's ability and perception, not the particular camera they're using.
  • tekkonkink, on 12/14/2008, -3/+6Just what I needed to see on a Sunday evening! Some great work there...

    This one's up in my living room right now, signed and framed.

    Weird coinkidink!
  • inactive, on 12/15/2008, -2/+4Photos look whacked...what is this? Amateur hour?
  • greatcaffeine, on 12/15/2008, -0/+2I wish a few of them were bigger so I could use them as my desktop background.

    Awesome collection!
  • ngmcs8203, on 12/15/2008, -0/+1You haven't been banned yet? Argh....
  • Velnich, on 12/15/2008, -2/+3Everyday beauty rarely observed and recognized as such. Realizing just how much of it there is all the time everywhere turns me into an emo little bitch.
  • zantos420, on 12/15/2008, -0/+1holy ***** batman it's all on one page!
  • mdisc, on 12/15/2008, -1/+2Pigeons never looked so spectacular.
  • rsbryswrrl, on 12/16/2008, -0/+1Amazing...
  • virtuaffinity, on 12/15/2008, -1/+1A really insperational set of photos, where's my camera.............
  • hayfaz, on 12/15/2008, -0/+0Beautiful pictures.

    I especially like Matt Stuart's and Nick Turpin's photos. They have brought the word "pun" to another level through images. Very English humour :)
  • feeman4life, on 12/15/2008, -1/+1I love photography, and I seriously digg these photo compilations from Smashing Pumpkin.
  • masskurec, on 03/01/2009, -0/+0great windows tweaks

  • ScottyAnimal, on 12/15/2008, -2/+2I agree, but they just weren't good photos. I did not find many of them to be engaging or shot well. That is what I meant by "point and shoot". I didn't mean that they weren't taken with an SLR or DSLR.
  • rdvon, on 12/15/2008, -2/+2http://www.in-public.com/MattStuart/image/1634
    Love it.
  • loneraver, on 12/15/2008, -2/+2pictures or it didn't happ...oh wait
  • 68024, on 12/16/2008, -1/+1No, it's Zwarte Piet:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zwarte_Piet
  • xmen15, on 02/18/2009, -0/+0Those are some really nice pics. Smashing Mag also comes up with great stuff. I still use some of the free wordpress themes that they selected as their top choices. I only wish I had 1% of the photography skills of those photographers featured.

  • 68024, on 12/16/2008, -1/+1Funny, in Holland, where I am from, he is never referred to as 'blackface'. He's always called Zwarte Piet.
  • JDMcompliant, on 12/15/2008, -1/+0http://www.in-public.com/DavidSolomons/image/2297

  • pmctosh, on 12/15/2008, -3/+1Some really nice pieces there.
  • ScottyAnimal, on 12/15/2008, -6/+3I am with oboshoe. 99% of those looked like they were "point and shoot".
