Graffiti: Unfiltered

Not very nice.

This picture does not even need a caption, William. You can pretty much guess it's from the United States. Great documentary photograph.

Quand même bien vu et belle semaine !

Thank you Ron (It's just factual reality which is not always nice), Frank (yes, it is an American original though I doubt confined to America alone), and Danielle!

LOL to Frank above...why would you assume it's from the US? WOW! That word is pretty universal these days. Of course you live in the US so he's right but that picture might have well been taken JUST ABOUT ANYWHERE. Kinda makes me want to look up pictures from a zillion countries that have that word on walls. It wouldn't be very hard to come up with them, that's for sure. Anyway, whatever...detestable graffiti morons are WORLDWIDE, not just the U.S.

That being said, I love your processing for this picture and your composition too!

Becaue the word is in English, so more so than not the viewer would assume from America.

I'd agree with you if it were just about any other word but that one's totally universal! :D I have heard that word everywhere! It's a nasty, foul word that everyone knows = very negative. Plus, it's "English" so I expect it's considered cool/funny (BTW "cool" is another universal word, but to a much lesser degree) to say something vulgar in another language. I would make a bet with all of my money in the world that you could say that word just about ANYWHERE (except the most remote places without much contact) and they would know what you just said.

I believe that the present mental, linguistic and also physical depravity should not be further promoted and recognised in such cases…
I'm a bit disappointed that you offer these guys a platform here...

I think its important the bad and ugly are also documented as are the good and beautiful. Otherwise how would reality be defined?

C'est désolant, mais n'est spécifique qu'au USA. ça peut arriver un peu partout dans le monde. Bonne semaine.

Well spotted and captured William.

that is not typical for USA, by now you can find it all over the world :-((

Weit verbreitet und es trifft wohl den Punkt.
Ebenso verbreitet wie "ACAB" oder auch "1312" in dem Fall.

Couldn't agree more. Seems like cops aren't popular anywhere anymore.

Unfortunately, cops are in a very difficult position, that's true.
Everywhere they embody a form of "enemy image"
because they represent the state.

Widespread anger, hopelessness, despair ... All this could be channelled through sincere love and appreciation, weakness could be transformed into inner strength. This is what the color of this great work says to me in relation to the graffiti lettering.

The word is universal and what it symbolizes is also universal!
It is the negation of the current dominant society
The color assumes on the one hand this discomfort but is a warning to the power of this social bomb

Superb, William!

Interesting capture ;-)
Have a great new week.

Thank you Janet, Udo, Malik, Jaap, Gabi, Katja, * ઇઉ *, J. Garcia, and June!

Says it all! Great processing, William.

Have a very good day.

Thank you Tess, Mariano, Wierd Folkersma, Rainer, and Janet!

a modern document ...

A four letter word that even an idiot can spell,
Nicely highlighted William.

Thank you Ron, Nora, and Roger!

In explore!

(:o))
What can I say ?!
You know, we have the French equivalent and it's widely posted too.
At least you softened the information by tinting it in pink ... ant it is rather beautiful (:o))

Thank you Ron, Evangrek, Betty, and Christiane!

Thanks, William.

Christiane makes a good point! This picture is actually quite pretty in the lovely rose tones you chose. I really like looking at this image even though the focal point is a bad word, LOL!

Thank you so much for your visit!

Thanks again.

Have a wonderful day.

Thank you Ron and Janet!

love the tones the most

Happy new week also:)

A universal not so nice expression

As it has already been said above, the word has become universal brought about by songs, movies, scratches and even paintings of those who for mere wild stupidity enjoy soiling walls or anything else.
.Basically this too has become one of the many symbols of our society embittered and vulgar.
So the delicately pink tone becomes brilliantly and wittily significant.

Dein Bild ist ein Dokument der Verrohung der Sprache und Gesellschaft, William.
Freundliche Grüße und einen guten Tag
Erich

Thank you Soeradjoen, Beatrice,and Erich!

Back again to admire William. Thanks for your visit comment and fave. Regards Tess.

Le monde est ainsi fait... et c'est bien dommage et même désolant !!!
Bonne fin de semaine William.

Thank you Tess and Jocelyne!

Obwohl Polizisten jeden Tag versuchen die Ordnung zu erhalten und dabei ihr Leben riskieren. Aber derartige Schmierfinken haben vor nichts mehr Respekt

Thank you Reyk!

My thoughts precisely. :-)
Splendid work, don Guillermo!

Thank you Dolores!

The street ignores censorship. So is the picture...
Nice take, William!

Yes no censorship! Thank you Eric!
