Wooster Collective launch Streetsy, a tagged street art photography site.

Street art site Wooster — a fine picking ground for BST in the past — has launched its own street photography library online.

Wooster says:

We’re extremely excited to announce today our latest Wooster Collective project – STREETSY, a “daily street art photography site” developed by our friend Jake Dobkin.

For years, Jake has been taking photographs of street art in Lower Manhattan and around the world. With the launch today, over 2500 photos have been uploaded and tagged. New photographs will be added to the site each day and every day.

Looking for a photograph for your site, article, or research project? All of the photos on Streetsy are being released to the public domain, and can be used in all commercial and non-commercial projects without charge.

The above photo is from the ‘cat’ tag and was taken in New York by Jake Dobkin.
