okay what hasn't been named yet.

my two faves are
your photo isnt really that great - www.flickr.com/groups/yousuck/
oatmeal trannosaurus harmony - www.flickr.com/groups/455865@N22/
i think. both really into participation and association etc.

and i like these too:
high and low - www.flickr.com/groups/highandlow/
at war with the obvious - www.flickr.com/groups/mundane/
photographs on the brain - www.flickr.com/groups/photographsonthebrain/
dirty style - www.flickr.com/groups/dirtystyle/

and then i like some groups dedicated to a specific kind of picture, becuase it's what i'm into, like 'shots of backs are boring' 'anonymousness' 'shoe stories' 'torsos' (a pattern, perhaps?)
'children of weegee'

oh oh and not to forget shameless group promtion
hardore bike photography - www.flickr.com/groups/virtualbikelane/
rule of third beers - www.flickr.com/groups/liquidcourage/

:)

blimey, Regina has covered all bases here, the Oatmeal tyrannosaurus harmony is even harder to get photos submitted to than HCSP

You forgot Across the street: minimalist street photography

www.flickr.com/groups/acrossthestreet/

:)

stoke: not for me :)
and anyway, that group is not about getting in the pool (either), just about keeping the flow going.

there are 7000 pictures in that pool but it's definitely a good place to start when searching for some interesting photographers on flickr..

It's just about shooting 100 pictures of strangers:

Shamless plug, but I think the quality of submissions is rising and we're getting some great shots in the pool lately: www.flickr.com/groups/extremestreet/

i always felt something like this was missing
hopefully not for long?

Not Street Street

not much of a pool yet, but i like some shots and hope it will grow to be a thought provoking stream. feel free to post

We're on extended hiatus in Spotlight Seven, but it really was kicking-ass good back at its peak. Find me a few great portraitists and light a fire under smoothdude's ass & we'll be back in business.

Bit of a plug for one I've just started. Have a look at the pool so far and if you like it, sign up and submit something that you think fits.

euhm pipeclayed:
www.flickr.com/groups/mirror-street/ ...

and i wonder if i mention
www.flickr.com/groups/quietstreets
again we get to a hundred members today...

Regina - I searched for minutes looking for one... Oh well... will just see it as my own gallery then!

Btw - your link is missing the 't' in streets.

fixed :)

Or this: www.flickr.com/groups/bokehschmokeh/ in response ;)

skinny, i don't think those two groups are opposites.

marja's group doesn't have the whole bokeh thing going on.

Awww, ok! But they are both funny though.

@skinny Marja group is a high level interesting group , Bokehschmokeh is kind of poor .

Jeeze! I was only trying to have a bit of light-hearted humour guys!
I've only been around this group for a short while. You guys seem to take yourselves a bit too seriously!
Bokehsmokeh is totally tongue-in-cheek.

that's not funny!

@skinny_man: Perhaps we just have a different sense of humour?

And if we take ourselves too seriously, then you're a bit too sensitive to snark....

www.flickr.com/groups/focusschmocus/
nothign new...

Ok, sorry. I'm scottish - that hopefully explains (but maybe not excuses) the sense of humour.
I did get a bit too defensive there didn't I? Did not mean to offend.
Never been accused of being sensitive - I seem to always get in trouble for being the opposite ;)

Here's a couple i like:

pssst: your link takes you to the Oatmeal Tyrannosaurus Harmony group, which is a good group but no balloons.

Ooops, guess my second 'copy' command didn't take after posting the OTH link for Maartyn.

Here's the corrected link:

Thanks Gary

And yes, I guess there's some self-promo here

I always feel kinda bad about doing self promo so then i don't. But alas its almost 6 in the morning and i haven't slept yet which means my guards are down and also I'm desperately craving chocolate muesli bars.

Rambling aside here is a group that i moderate. Not just street but full of good stuff none the less;

It's getting quite difficult to get a shot into this -- the pool is looking pretty good, possibly the best country-level street group on flickr?

I started few months ago a group called "Pure R-D1 Pictures".
It's lightly curated, and you will find rather good street photos in.
www.flickr.com/groups/pure_r-d1_pictures/

Anything that Artie is moderating. He isn't given enough credit around here. His sense of moderation and democratic spirit have kept many a troubled thread from bouncing on turbulent waters.

If you have some shot who could fill the Style and Level of this pool , that would be awesome :

Ultimatum : www.flickr.com/groups/1400223@N22/

can i blatantly use this space to promote my newly *literally* created group focusing on Bangkok Street Photography? well anyway here goes;

www.flickr.com/groups/krungthepstreet/

the reason being that, hey, Bangkok (my hometown) is so damn underrepresented in any genre of photography. it's a shame really, Bangkok has a vibe unlike any other. perhaps it's just so damn hard to photograph well, being not as chaotic as, say, Indian cities, nor as iconic as, say, Chinese cities. just look through HSCP pool for instance, there's so few photo from Bangkok, and not very good one at that (compare to the later standard of acceptance). anyway it's curated by me, so the standard might be off.

@ Boung: Now that's what I call heavily curated.

hey it was created 5 hours ago! and try to find interesting street photo from bangkok! i spent 2hours and found like 5 passable images. so disheartening. bangkok is like the black hole of good photography (unless there's political unrest)

Frankie - thanks for the shout out!

hey, I wonder if anyone knows about a group for Peopled Landscapes. I think this had some potential, but apparently it died befored I was born.

I started a curated Taiwanese street photography group a while back called Gutsy Island. Going pretty well so far.

攝膽包天 筆筆街市，顧名思義是為集結人文、景物、現象、故事街拍的曠世鉅作而設。

carvalho - try Figures in a Landscape. MDM at 'Peopled' is into other stuff now.

cool! I'm finding I like this genre, but I don't know exactly how to classify it yet. It's not exactly street, it's no based exclusively on graphical elements but it's not anything else also. When I read MDM's post about this, I was already 30 months too late, and now it's hard to find a good curated group pretty much about anything here.

Nice group with some familiar names. Am about to lower the tone.

Beat you to it.

www.flickr.com/groups/phenomenology/

phenomenology is grand: pierre is curating a nice selection

consistently fascinating, I agree.

At this point, probably my favorite pool.

Hi people!
Mario Cuic has given me and Agellos the keys of the group Small Growers Street Association

In the last couple of days we have made a clean up and also invited photos according to our tastes.
Feel free to pay us a visit. The limit is 1 photo / week.

^ Looking great. intimidatingly so ;-)

okay, this might sound a bit like a diss, but it's not intended so. a genuine question: what is the use of yet another group with the same pictures in it?

"groups we like"? at this point it is more like "groups we run"

123regina:

Regina, you 're right up to a point, however in this group you can see pics like this one


or this one


or this one


not exactly "street" as most people mean it.. (and of course you can see some of the well known gems) :)

and another thing, it's not a "new" group! It's an old one, a bit "transformed".

Shameless plug of a group I started Practical is Beautiful with quite a humble premise. It ain't street but some things might be familiar/of interest.

anton, i'd seen those all before ;)

There's this The World is a Street group. Some of You folks know it already. As we run it for two years we managed to gather nice collection of photos. Definately worth checking out ;)

I like this one named Concept Street, not sure if it's already mentioned here:

Double X Street

www.flickr.com/groups/double-x-street/

A group created to highlight a pool of some current photographers who show work on flickr and to bring discussions on female photographers who are less contemporary or non-flickr members - these are street photographers who happen to be female. An archive to view some intriguing photographs and hopefully to become a resource when that nagging question arises 'Where are all the female street photographers?'

Please read the group rules, all are welcome to join.

Street Decisive Moments

www.flickr.com/groups/street_decisive_moments/

A group that specializes on the moment that the shot was captured. Photos can be of multiple subjects or a single subject's epiphany.

The Asphalt Jungle

www.flickr.com/groups/the-asphalt-jungle/

The aim of The Asphalt Jungle is to playfully pay homage to cinematic history through Street, Candid and Documentary Photography.

Photographs should be reminiscent of a particular director, cinematographer or genre of cult and classic cinema history.

Photographs that interest are of a Street, Candid or Documentary nature and may get comments like "Hey, this reminds me of so-and-so". The photos should have an essence of a film maker or particular genre of cinema history that shines through.

It will help if you include a reference to the film, actor, genre or director your photo reflects.

Take a look through the pool before submitting, enjoy The City Under the City!

Charlotte`:

read your post thinking orson welles, terrence malick, andrei tarkovsky;
got superhero movies instead. some cool photos there though, nice group

oh, and i made a group myself for photography concerning animals: www.flickr.com/groups/strays/

i know there's others out there such as ANIMANIAC, ANIMALogic, An Odd Zoo, and Hardcore Animal Farm Photography (note: inactive for 2y, but great pool), but they all fit different aesthetics. not sure about the ethics and politics of posting your own group here, but hey, it's a group that i like and contains none of my photos
