Had this little beauty in my inbox this morning, an invitation to join a community, the
Street Photography Now Project, in association with
The Photographer's Gallery, London, and Sophie Howarth and Stephen McLaren, authors of
Street Photography Now. (Unfortunately, it involves posting our efforts on
Flickr - why they didn't set up their own unique platform, I really don't know.) The gist is, they'll post a weekly instruction for you to take to the street, make an image, and upload it to their
Flickr group. You don't need a squirrel monkey; just a camera, a town, and a lot of brass neck.
Here's a brief slideshow promoting Howarth and McLaren's new book which contains some fun, funny, and inspirational photos, and the kind of thing I imagine they're looking for;

Addendum: Seems to be a bit confusing over at SPNP's Flickr page. I've found
this which seems to be where the prompts are. Then you have to marry it up to the right Flickr group. Why, oh why, oh why et cetera et ad infinitum....
