Tale of two Cities

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.

I Think Therefore I Am

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.

Almost 365: I’m Sorry I Love You

Now that my project is complete, I thought i would go through some of the backlog from the last 365 days and post up the best of the images that just missed out. This patch of graffiti on the canal in Wapping was a close call for Day 9 of my project.

Day 280 ‘No He’s Not!’ – 02/09/10

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!

Day 275 ‘It’s all in the Detail’ – 28/08/10

I was hunting for Graffiti but noticed this patch of wall with paste, stickers and all manner of gunk on it! I like the way this has worked out as an interesting texture shot.

Day 275 ‘Who Watches the Watchmen’ – 28/08/10

Took the morning to wander around Shoreditch looking for photo’s this morning. My eye’s were drawn to this bright yellow piece of graffiti, which i thought would look great with a passer by…and dutifully this cyclist soon showed up!

Day 263 ‘Life is Wonderful’ – 16/08/10

Hiding from the rain on our way back to our hotel we stumbled through St Germain in Paris, which is currently my favourite part of this beautiful city. Todays two photos are off a some graffiti i found in the back streets that i thought was absolutely fantastic.

Day 263 ‘Rue De Graffit’ – 16/08/10

Hiding from the rain on our way back to our hotel we stumbled through St Germain in Paris, which is currently my favourite part of this beautiful city. Todays two photos are off a some graffiti i found in the back streets that i thought was absolutely fantastic.

Day 237 ‘Brighton Squares 5’ – 21/07/10

The last couple of shots for the Brighton Squares, this one captures the ‘Cassette Lord’ graffiti that is all over these junction boxes around Brighton. I liked the simple graffiti, and the way this transformed these common, boring structures!

Day 235 ‘Brighton Squares 2’ – 19/07/10

A photo of some of the graffiti near Brighton Marina. I am a sucker for graffiti, although have not taken all that many photos so far on my project 365.
