I'm going to give the same fair answer I always do: check in past entry rounds for composites that weren't DQ'd for examples. If you've done that, you should be set!
Oh sorry Aaron, but that's not really possible without offering an AVATAR. And all of your galleries are locked. What's up with that??? Okay, so that leaves us with illusive personality, which for now I'll have to go with Walter Pater. Either that or Hannah Montana.
Good to see that Kerry has taste, both:
1. are male
2. have goaties
3. want the spotlight
4. use gel
Does it get any better than this? Nudge nudge wink wink you know what I mean, ey :-)
Now we must work on your image to help you transition to the next level with me:
1. A handkerchief for your head
2. About 100 more pounds on your body rofl
I have a shot I'd like to submit, but I couldn't say it's an emulation of a specific photographer.
Rather, it's the result of lots and lots of reading about and looking at "Street Photographer's" works over the last 3-4 days. Particular inspiration came from Henri Cartier-Bresson, but also from Robert Carl Cohen (Inside Red China in 1957 and 1978), Philippe Roy (I've been working on a 'Numbers' series) and Chris Weeks (despite his fanatical use of the F-word and Rangefinders as the only way to really be a Street Photographer).
I'm relatively comfortable in Street work. But the insights I gained trying to incorporate their ethos into my "walk-abouts" paid dividends within the first 48 hours of thinking about it and attempting to apply it. And I think there's a material improvement as a result.

I'm thrilled to hear you've learned so much in the past few days. My advice is to pick one to really study and emulate for the purpose of the challenge—if not in the walkabout then at least in the processing/lighting style. Dig in as deep as you can with one as you might find there's even more to learn there.

From IMDB, Meaning of Life:
Maitre d': Et maintenant, would monsieur care for an aperitif, or would he prefer to order straightaway? Today, we have for appetizers - excuse me - uh, moules marinières, pâte de foie gras, beluga caviar, eggs Benedictine, tarte de poireaux - that's leek tart - frogs legs amandine or oeufs de caille Richard Shepherd - C'est à dire, little quails' eggs on a bed of pureed mushrooms. It's very delicate, very succulent. Mr. Creosote: I'll have the lot.

And of course, the follow up that went something like:
Maitre'd: How would you like that served?
Mr. Creosote: In a bucket all mixed up, with the eggs on top.

Here's my challenge. Street photography is a subjective process that is also opportunistic. I've submitted something that I feel came about as an outcome of this challenge. I might need to adjust the exposure a bit, but that's it. Of course, I'll be taking pictures next weekend as well. It's May Day in China on Friday and I hope to be moving into a new Flat in Shanghai.
I've looked at many, many names and street photog's and studied four in particular and their individual styles change substantially depending on the circumstances. It's the general assumption of 'blending' thats shown through in all their stories. Make yourself a part of the scene, whether seen or unseen by it's participants is the technique. Don't stand apart. Nothing artificial.
Basically, I won't be able to emulate a single Street Photographer as their styles and approaches change depending on circumstances. But the ethos is consistent amongst them all. And that's where I'm learning. Getting at the core of any of the four I've studied in more detail (I've read several hundred pages and looked at many photo's as well)
My eye is still developing. I saw something on Sunday on a construction site that only existed for a couple of hours. Like most things, it will never exist again. Cool stuff to have caught.
I'm not going to dissect this anymore, folks. I'm just going to start referring back to the first post with the theme description. :rutt Everything I'm looking for really is in those two sentences. I swear.
1. actually im not going the handkerchief route... im looking for two coconut halves:D

OMG, I'm totally going to envision Hanna Montana with a man's voice every time I read his posts now...

ok, my stupid mug is present.....

Oh yeah, I am SO trying to butter you up!
MOD edit: Linkified for slightly less buttering.
Funny, I thought more Nick Frost, but that could be because of my bent toward British humor.
Who needs TV? I love this show!

It ovbviously is far too late for that
Pemmett's voice is starting to sound like Alec Baldwin in my head.
You heard 'im, folks. If anything is late in posting next week, it's his fault.
