I agree--Very cool!

I can see some juvie, I mean youth, drooling at the sight of those newly immaculate walls.

You have any close ups of the tagged walls--they kind of look cool from afar, especially the way the "art" is framed.

Here is a close up. I only had my small Canon P&S on my bike trip. It looks like the "main canvas" has been left alone and only the scribbles on the pillars are being removed:

First of all, way cool shot!

Orange = usually prisoner uniform. Could the person cleaning be someone doing mandatory community service?

Thanks Roadkill . . . (I'm afraid to look at your site . . . haha)

I should see how it looks really big. Haven't made a big print yet from my Canon PS . . . maybe hang it my office . . .

Very cool

Interesting picture; nice shapes and pretty good composition, with lots of interesting possibilities!

I might have framed it differently, but I think yours is a pretty good job!

…and talking about graffiti, check out "Banksy"…

…a few local councils have been taken to task for cleaning up what they thought to be "graffiti" when in fact they were v. expensive pieces of art

Nice job, and thanks for sharing!

"I might have framed it differently, but I think yours is a pretty good job! " . . I'm interested in what you have in mind. Please don't hestitate to grab the pic and rework it . . .

I do agree that some graffiti is true art. And there are places that some cities set aside for legal graffiti. But I guess for some "artists" tagging on private property is the thrill :-)

I was thinking something on the lines of:



…or even:



Cropping the sides not only draws the eye to the worker, but also makes the barrel-distortion in the lens less obvious.

…just a couple of thoughts!

Hi Wil,

I like the second one. Gives a better perspective on the size of the bridge relative to the worker.

Appreciate the input :-)
