Please note: Consider that I reserve the decision to publish or not, based on the quality of the proposal. In my final decision there is nothing personal and only referred to a quality standard that I want to maintain on this blog. The idea comes from the desire to offer something more in favor of street photographers all over the world, but you are guests of my blog and therefore I ask for respect on the decisions made. By submitting your proposal, you declare under your responsibility that you are the only creator of the photographs presented and the acceptance of being part of this blog permanently with your work.
