..Or wow, someone really likes my photo!

Artists are so very hard on themselves. I have been known to rip up, burn or just give away some amazing creations. When leaving San Francisco, a dear neighbour said to me “why on earth are you not taking these paintings with you?” Probably because they remind me of a time I would rather forget, they are too big or cumbersome to pack or they just downright suck. I often stand back and look at a piece …think to myself “its awful, no one would want to look at this”….

But how wrong can we be…

Bennett has said of the song,

“That song helped make me a world citizen. It allowed me to live, work and sing in any city on the globe. It changed my whole life”

Lets face it, without The City there would be no song.  And I couldn’t agree more, because San Francisco changed my life, it made me a world citizen and most importantly it opened up my eyes and soul to a creativity that I shall cherish forever…

Nowadays, my heart is where my home is and both reside in Nashville, Tennessee…but there will forever be a small sliver of me that was there, is still there and will always be there…

…Or better snap it fast!

snap it fast

What better way to display your graffiti than on a fast-moving train. And what better way to get your art out there. It’s like a national canvas, constantly on the move from one place to another. You could call it an unofficial tour…

 

We are all people watchers, whether we like to admit it or not….

Small scenes of everyday life attract our attention…a pretty girl, a couple kissing, a dog looking through a gateway, an old tramp sitting and watching the world go by…

For some reason we feel that we should not photograph them, as if we are pointing a finger at them. It may be perceived as a rude gesture perhaps and we are invading their privacy or personal space..                                                                           thegraffitihunter.com
