We’re celebrating the end of one year and the beginning of the next by thanking BSA Readers, Friends, and Family for your support in 2023. Picked by our followers, these photos are the heavily circulated and “liked” selections of the year – shot by our Editor of Photography, Jaime Rojo. We’re sharing a new one every day to celebrate all our good times together, our hope for the future, and our love for the street. Happy Holidays Everyone!

Street art duo Snik provided one of the lovely and haunting images this year when they were in Norway to install a program of pieces on the island of Utsira and finished with this one in Stavanger. They call it Overcome, referring to the reclamative behavior of nature to take over our human creations as time progresses. A second meaning of the title could also interpret the sitter’s demeanor of apprehension that affects much of the world as banks, corporations, and war-making industries overcome governments, communication platforms, traditions, and local laws. We, the ever-hopeful, are hanging in the balance as well.
