This was another of the images taken on Steve Davey’s mastering composition course. This was shot in the scare park under the National Festival Theatre near Waterloo in London. I was deliberately trying to get a scene that captured the action on the left and the family taking photos on the right.
I liked the way that this dense wall of graffiti was like a border or barrier to the distant untouched buildings in Cagliari. It was quite hard to work out the right angle to get this at, and in the end i went with something tight with the line of the wall. Not sure this was the right approach, but i only took a couple of shots both along the same lines so have nothing else to go back to.
Wandering round the streets of Cagliari in Sardinia was a minefield/goldmine for graffiti depending on your perspective. I liked the contemplative face in this almost monochrome scene, with the splash of colour thrown in by the pink tags in the shot.
This is another shot for my Almost 365 collection. There were a number of great pieces of street graffiti around f Paris, and i liked the contrast between the Nuns image above the tag style graffiti on this street.
I kinda feel sorry for Bonzo, whoever they are…it is bad enough that this was scrawled along with some other humorous graffiti in the goods lift (some of the schoolboy phallic graffiti was too x-rated for the blog) but now this slander is out n the internet! So if for one would like to say No He’s Not! I thought this made a slightly funny image, and is definitely the low water mark for graffiti as an art form!
I’m surprised how little Graffiti I have captured on this project so far, as it is something to both love and hate in the urban environment. I thought this patch of Graffiti in Shoreditch (hence the literal title) looked fantastic, and I have tried to capture it along with it’s surroundings. I deliberately used some selective colouring to get the graffiti to stand out from the rest of the environment.
