Urban Graffiti


Urban graffiti can be a bit of a hackneyed photo opportunity - surely it's too easy to make a good photo out of somebody else's picture. But when you find something you like there's a sense of pleasure in preserving a piece of someone's creativity before it inevitably gets erased. Isn't that what is behind a lot of photography anyway - capturing a moment in time that can't be repeated?
