Hey Steemians, don´t you think we are ready for the first official:

Steemit Street Photo Award

If you agree with me, you are more than welcome to take part at Edition One.

Starting from today the 25th of July till sunday the 09th of August.

All kinds of Streetphotography are welcome: Streetportrait, Streetscenes, Streetlife, Streetculture, Streetcreatures, black&white.

As a professionell streetphotographer i´m always interested in the work of others and how they see and experience the wonderful variaties of world.

The title photo was shot by myself in Chinatown, San Francisco in 2015 and got the title "The long arm of coincidence". The psychologist Carl Gustav Jung once described synchronicity as temporarly correlated events, which are not linked by a causal relationship, but are interrelated and could be interpreted as it. Maybe he was right.

Winners & Prizes

There will be three Winners and everybody of them will win 3 SBD! Good luck guys!
