Building on the success of HP?s HYPE galleries the Street Photography gallery encourages photographers to look at the urban landscape in innovative or unusual ways. Cracks in the pavement peeling walls or shadows cast by stairwells could all be included in Street Photography. Street Photography galleryThe gallery works in a similar way to the HYPE galleries through which thousands of participants have exhibited their work online and seen them printed to a professional standard on HP Z-series printers in capital cities across the world including London Berlin Paris and Singapore. The most recent HYPE event in Berlin in November 2006 had 13000 visitors to the exhibition and 60000 unique visitors to the online gallery.

Shooting pains
Hindu – Jul 8, 2007
Vales and told us we too could take great pictures as long as we had a finger. This led to a boost in tourism as trigger happy middle class families began rushing off to mountains and beaches and monuments to test out their new skill: “Just aim. And shoot!” And when the roll was processed excited families would gather around and use the one and only method the entire world uses to judge whether or not a photograph has come out well: look only at his or her own self in an entire group of people and then declare “Terrific picture”!” or “The camera is awful!” — depending entirely of course on whether the photo accidentally made them look terrific or caught their most peculiar angle. Anyway after carefully choosing only those pictures from the bunch where one imagines one looks faintly like Madhuri Dixit or Aamir Khan (even if the rest of the group is blurred and out of focus) these favourites all end up in a public picture viewing gallery — the soft board at the cabin in the office. Now undoubtedly the Management invested in these soft boards in your room to put up urgent meeting schedules forthcoming targets and even profoundly worded posters like “Today is the first day of the rest of your life”… Instead we are treated to photographs of your family holiday in oty all identically squirming in the sun; an ecstatic reunion of your Class of 97 where everyone looks like they’ve just been released from an asylum; an extreme close-up of your darling Alsatian with eyes that seem like he’s the devil’s own hound; and also a Polaroid of a tiny pink pig —which it turns out is actually your brother’s newborn baby in Dallas when it was just five minutes old. h there’s one more statutory photograph on every soft board displaying people having a good time — and that is the Restaurant Photograph. Even as these words are being writ I’ll bet all over the world gangs of people sitting around restaurant dining tables must be suddenly feeling that this event must be immortalised in a picture forever … and so they will crane their necks from all corners and simultaneously grin to get into frame… This led to a boost in tourism as trigger happy middle class families began rushing off to mountains and beaches and monuments to test out their new skill: “Just aim.

And I’m sure on the first day of every hoteliering training school they are taught the most important lesson in being a great waiter: how to take a picture fitting in at least eight grinning diners without walking backwards and falling into someone’s soup at the table just behind.
