it's funny and sad that some of the better entries aren't from DA members..

if you just join to win the contest with your selfchosen "winning streetshot", at least pretend to be a member of this site... but by joining a few days before the deadline and submitting one deviation for the contest and leaving again, you embarras yourself.

i myself have chosen my winnerphoto of the contest already. it's a da-member one.. haha.

i'm curious about the winner though.. i'm not in the contest, since my work was deleted, even if i was i didn't have good chances to win anything on deviantart anymore ;)

another intresting fact is that this contest might have been one of the smalles on DA i've seen. Not many people joined there.. that shows that DA has unfortunately has not much street potential at all, not even if the price is 1000$... but if the price is a mention by larafairy in her journal and the topic was shoot your kitten or yourself, billions would have joined.

to me the contest lost it when dA decided to kick you out.
I hope any of their admins reads this...

First of all, you're out of the contest. And that's a shit 'cause you was one of the best street-photographers in dA.
Then, about people who joined dA just for the contest. What can I say? I'm in dA, I pay dA. And I'm in the contest 'cause I belive, I love and I do street-photography. I publish my street-photographs in dA for a long time.
Maybe one day I'll leave dA, open a blogger account, do what you did, Sev.

I want to know your chosen winner-photo!

Those greedy bastards. Probably the Russian guy is all the same. Who knows.

I'd more like to see someone win who hasn't got a great camera already and showing some great potential. :)

But well...

Nun ich hoffe mal dass sich die Jury rund um C.W. sich Gedanken machen, wen sie zum Sieger küren. Ich meine der Contest war groß auf der Cameraquest Seite angekündigt und deshalb ist es nicht weiter verwunderlich, dass ein paar Leute sich für diesen Contest angemeldet haben. Dies mag zwar für dA ein zwei neue User bringen aber das ganze steht etwas in Widerspruch zu einem DA contest. Nun wie dem auch sei, ich bin schon mal auf das Ergebnis gespannt.
Ich hab das wieder mal nicht mitgekriegt um deinen Acc, bist du diesmal permanent weg?
Wäre es mal möglich mit dir in die Duka zu gehen? Würd mir nämlich gerne ein paar Tricks ansehen wegen Printen, da ich in den Weihnachtsferien selber wieder verstärkt printen will.
Lg ausm 9.

I don't want to be mean with you or Bernhard (wich has an amazing photo that should win) and I know everybody has the right to do what ever he wants... but I also find it funny and sad that some people that already have one of the best camera in the world, a M6 or M7 or even some good bessa actualy unter the contest... ok, they have the right to unter and win and then sell the camera or to keep it as a trophy... but I don't think that's why Chris Weeks made that contest for.

(you probably don't have a good opinion on me, or think I don't like you... but that's very wrong!)

I've also chosen my winnerphoto, it's Bernhard's one, (if there was a second one it would be azrael3000's one).

Something tells me that all those accounts are from one person.

I was really surprised to see that so many people just joined to participate! It comes across as very unsympathetic to me, but oh well.
I think my fav is Azrael3000's http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/43370515/
Curious about your fav!

since when did photography become all about money, people who are interested in making money out of photography most of the time do not love photography

Well now I watched all streetphotos which have been submited. I was suprised that just ~260 have been submited, well lot's of trash. Nearly every good photo has been shot by the guys I watch over there.

Thanks to all who like my image, it was shot with a really shitty cam (ok better than a digital), so it seems that the work behind the cam is appreciated. (For those who don't know I'm Azrael3000). Well I also choose a fav, it's the one from dersunde.

There's not much on DA for street. Just your good self and your Leica posse. Street contest is so small I didn't even know it was on. So thanks for your blog.

what makes me wonder is whether the winner will also be the most faved one before being announced...

und ich sag dir - suck it. es ist alles sinnlos.

All the stuff said in here (wether in the blog post or in the comments) is true.
DA is not made for street. Though I'm just a fucking newbie (I mean, I started photographing this year, and discovered how stupid digital was after a month) I inmediately realized after joining DA that everything, absolutely everthing was commercial. Street is not commercial, ergo street's not important. That's how members of DA think.
I made my entry for the contest, and even though I'm not hoping to win, since I just started making street shots, I'd love to get some recognition from people like you, or mr weeks. You are the only ones I really estimate in DA (and a few more haha)

Haha ... Auf der Suche nach einem Buchcover hab ich grade in der google Bildsuche "Stephen King Glas" eingegeben, und dann hab ich ein Bild gesehen, bei dem ich mir gedacht habe, dass es genau dein Stil ist. Dann wars wirklich von dir und hat mich auf die Seite verlinkt ^^
