That shot with the dumpsters, #7 is my favorite. All around great set.

Thanks for the kind words

Great shots. Has anyone ever noticed that those that do grafitti are actually pretty darn good artists? Just wondering...

Hi David

These ppl are very good at what they do, this lane has a youth outreach sentre in it and the businesses allow the artistic graffiti

Ive noticed that quite a bit. At least those that do the art type of graffiti are good artists. The ones that do the BS tagging and scribbling should be shot though IMHO.

I'm a big fan of doing that kind of powerful, in-your-face, iconic artwork. Stencils, spray paint, etc. But I've never been brave enough or selfish enough to spray it on someone's business.

Around where I live the businesses are privately owned and the town isn't that big, so I wouldn't feel right spraying someone's wall

Thanks for the comments

Cool. I love 2 and 7.

Thanks for the comments

Here a few more from the same day

i like the dumpster one the best ... the otheres are very cool shots as well but something with the depth & having the dumpsters there painted & kinda blending in is cool

Tight!

Man some of those are so vibrant. and to think some of the people doing this aren't even known for the artistic talent they have. These are great shots. They really show off the colors and vibrancy of the graffiti where you're located. There is stuff like that where I live, just not in such great quantities. I think good graffiti adds to a city's fung shui.

Thanks for these shots.

Thanks Alpha

I have been watching these guys and girls doing this for a few weeks and decided to get some shots, There are a few more going up so once they are done I will get some more shots

Really great captures -- Aussies almost always seem to post good stuff here on POTN. Why is that?

I think the guys who deface these areas deserve having their places decoratd by my place:p where the sun never shines.

This area is dedicated to the youths to paint as they like, They are encouraged to express themselves in paint. Some of the work is very good and a pleaseure to look at.

Well, maybe I'll go there and find out if that's true someday!
