Observation

Observation
"Friends are Like snowFLakes, when you Pee on them, they disappear"

Soundtrack by Aeon Waves: soundcloud.com/ambientmusicalgenre/aeon-waves-we-could-have-saved-us

This writing on the wall is almost unnoticeable, written with some pastel pencils. I had to process the image very heavily to get the text more visible. As a result I got interestingly murky image (original on notes).

Graffiti as an art form kind of declares it's own doom. Although graffiti artists in general respect each others' work, they are often made on places where they are in danger to become removed, sooner or later, in a way or another. And that makes them as very temporary art. So, it could be claimed it is almost a duty for any photography artist to record graffiti art, at least the best of them ;-)

This one is of course not much of an art, but more likely an expression of opinion, or an observation. But try to replace word "friends" with something else like "world" or "peace", and you get something much more profound out of it ;-) And that is what art should do, no matter if it is good or bad in anyone's standards: provoke some thoughts in the audience.

To see a very good example, please go and see this exceptionally well documented graffiti art photographed by Stephane: www.ipernity.com/doc/483861/album/918004

I really like the effect you brought out with the heavy processing.

Wow, I really like how this turned out, Sammy; the processing gives the letters an eerie, haunting quality, kind of like how I would imagine what King Belshazzar would have seen with his 'writing on the wall'! ;-)
