Van said it best Friday afternoon, “It’s like seeing all your Followers, but in real life!,” as we walked down Broadway in Santa Monica, and looked back on the mob of photographers who came out for thehundreds.com’s inaugural STREET MEET. The idea was to call out photography enthusiasts within our community and bring them face to face – with us, and each other – as we shared an afternoon of snapping under the guidance of host Van Styles.

STREET MEET also brings the new thehundreds.com to life, as we are selecting our favorite photos from the day and posting the hi-res shots on the website this week, highlighting connection, interaction, and humanity out of a historically flat digital space. This is the next generation of thehundreds.com.

Thank you to all who participated, and look out for the next STREET MEET with another one of our affiliate photographers in a city near you…
