Graffiti Alley
I've posted a picture of this alley before and the graffiti in it continues to fascinate me. I think the newer image is better. Is it possible I've learned a thing or two in the past 2 years? Nah, probably not.

1. Yes, you have.
You've now put that vivid wall into a bigger context, and the second photo says: Look at this. Whereas the first one simply says: Cool graffiti. Huge difference between the two, and really good to see them both together. You've learned so much, Tin, that you have a lot to teach.

4. You're very kind Jeff
It's nice to revisit old photos occasionally and chart some kind of progress (to what I don't know). Unfortunately, I think I'm a bit too persnickety to be a teacher, should the opportunity ever arise.

btw did you notice the dumpsters are in almost exactly the same position 2 years later? How odd.

2. I'm a huge fan of well-done graffiti.
These are great.

5. The wall is amazing
I think it was some kind of project, but the website for it wasn't available last time I checked.

3. Very cool, Tin!
I bet taking one face on would be some doing. Seems like such a narrow space to work in.

:hi:

6. Thanks hippywife
I have more photos of the art somewhere that I'll dig out when I have time. I've got some good graffiti from Bristol too, including a Banksy.

7. The difference is astounding.
The first one lets me observe, and in the second I'm a participant. The second picture is exciting, with great depth and intrigue.
