World Street Photography

World Street Photography is an independent nonprofit organization and community created for street photographers by the non-profit Kujaja organisation. World Street Photography was founded in February 2014 by Gido Carper with the intention of giving street photographers a community and a public arena to show their street photography. Profit from its photobooks is given to charitable organizations.

gollark: Aren't there already projects doing that with SDRs?
gollark: Others too.

gollark: I think I've heard of a ton of books using that sort of thing as a premise.
gollark: I think an interesting solution to this sort of issue is federated social networks, but they have their own scale issues and also nobody uses them.
