Boogie
I first read about Boogie, the amazing street/documentary photographer on PingMag in an article about photos he took of gangs and addicts in project housing in Brooklyn. He grew up in the former Yugoslavia and moved to New York in 1998. He's also done a lot of work in the favelas of Brazil, and all over the world.
Black Voices has a slideshow with him talking about the photos he took, what they mean and how he came to be able to take them. It's worth it for his accent alone but listening to him, he sound like a really nice, easy-going person so it's no wonder people let him capture them on film.
He also has a photoblog he updates almost every day, and two books - It's All Good, which is affordable, and Boogie, which is not.
