I went on a little trip into the old subway system underneath of the public library in downtown Rochester today. Let me know what you guys think of this capture!

PP was with Lightroom2, just a brush with -1.75exposure around the edges to make the graffiti pop a little on top of the contrast and saturation bump

Good shot. It's amazing how talented some of these taggers are.


I just got my first pair of glasses that I didn't think I needed. I apologize to anybody in the past year that I said their pictures were out of focus lol.

Thanks, and yes, some of the taggers are amazing.. I would like to venture further into the tunnel, but they were doing work when I went. I will have to return on a weekend.

They are called graffiti writers, Not taggers. A tagger is someone that only does tags, This being the simplest form of graffiti. What this photo is of is two pieces (short for master piece) This stuff is mediocre, Theres illegal work being done all around the world that is spot on photo realistic all done with spray paint.

Looks like a cool spot to take photos, I'd be a bit cautious though and take a good strong torch, spare batteries, a friend. And it might be worth while getting in touch with some local urban explorers and asking about the location.
