Interesting street images and a developed philosophy of vernacular creativity at this website. As I develop a kind of relational taxonomy of the new ‘amateurism’, I’ve been struck by the pervasiveness of this kind of neo-punk, militant DIY, determinedly lo-fi ethic and aesthetic. Example:

While making street photos, non-photography was formed. non-p is the concept of taking energy as far as possible, and with no regards to excellency. it is about making pictures while being free of the photographer’s extra cargo of filters, stylish lenses and other expensive equipment. the non-photographer’s main tools are enthusiasm, an open mind and hopefully some creativity. more so, non-p has no use for books (too boring) or calculations (too calculated). for the most part, I make street photos, which is about recording the natural pace of the street life “as is”, without any interference on my part. No pre-planning is involved. I have my cameras (Minolta SRT 101 and an un-sophisticated digital camera) along with me at all times
