graffiti


one of the things i like taking photos of is graffiti. while i don’t quite see myself as some sort of chronicler of the urban way of life, the hidden mysteries and lost stories in these drawings, scratchings and duabings that go up on walls, doors, windows, well any surface really. some of what you see is tedious and pointless, some if odd and baffling others are just plain and simple art. some get their message across, some leave you perplexed wondering what you have missed others are just the ranting of mad dogs with crayons.
although not strictly graffiti the bill poster sometimes works it magic just as well.
this one says what it has to in a clear minimal style. i am sure it will offend many.

expect to see more pictures of the graffiti of london on here. (see paul after all this time i still take depressing photos, only now they are digital ones….)
