Hi Sue:
ReplyDeleteGlad to here MaryLou is first again! Some grafitti artists are so talented its unbelievable, but I'm with you - don't know why. 15 minutes of fame, maybe?
Yes, Bill...:) Christmas is (finally) over and Mary Lou is still my favorite...LOL.. she has to come first, right?!!:)
ReplyDeleteThanks for listening :)
Hi Sue: You are absolutely right! Now, why didn't I put a couple of fiddles in the background? Alas, my creativity doth flounder. :-}
ReplyDeleteNo, no...you are creative, Bill. Don't worry! :)
ReplyDeleteI agree there can be art in graffiti but have no clue why-- maybe like OregonArtGuy said, 15 min.
ReplyDelete(I think California might be the graffiti capitol of the world.)
Who knows 'why'? I think people just like to leave their mark...or they're bored....or they enjoy marking up other people's property? Love how you've collecting the 'evidence'!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm excited to see the California graffiti on our travels, a lot to photograph, I bet! Thanks for the comment, Tricia! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Marice, I'm glad you liked my little report :)
ReplyDeleteCool pics Susanne. We get a lot of graffiti at the mall, all real bad , mostly gangs and kids marking their territory.
ReplyDeleteBench grafitti...Having grown up in a very large city, I love it. I don't know why it's done specifically but I think it might have something to do with making the moment as permanent as possible.
ReplyDeleteSo I wonder is Ally and Chris are still together?!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for the comment, Bob! :)
ReplyDeleteYes, you are right Mari'!I see it that way too. Thanks for visiting! :)
ReplyDeleteThat's a very good question, Carrie...LOL.. thanks for your comment. :)
ReplyDeleteYou found some really good ones! The ones we have in the city around here are pretty nasty.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your visit, Kathy! Very much appreciated :)
ReplyDeleteHi Susan, I am with you, I love graffiti. I often photograph all the graffiti and wall art wherever I am in the world. I love it. Carla x
ReplyDeleteCiao Carla,
ReplyDeletevery nice to see new faces commenting on my blog. Thanks for your visit! :)
I love these tags, I always wonder who did that, for what reason, I can imagine a full story - it's what I like in photography - telling nices stories...with the light :) In that sense, b_w is easier to work on (it's what I am doing now)...
ReplyDeleteSwissCharles
btw happy to find you, too :)
Hi Charles,
