Captured in all their graffiti glory were these two girls on a little place called Centre Place in Melbourne.
"Why do you love graffiti so much?" someone once asked me. "It's not as cool as it used to be when they were tagging trains and stuff."
Here's why...
NOTHING is as cool as it used to be.
But, I think graffiti always will be...
Graffiti is not confined on a sheet of paper or reserved for viewings from 9am-5pm. It's large and when you see it, in your face. It's available for viewing at all times of day. It's a blend of pop culture and pulp fiction that can question society or make you blush...because on you're way to work you cannot ignore it.
It can bring a community together ( wall murals of an influential person who passed away), and inspire.
Like all art forms there is the good and there is the bad. And when you see the good, well you just have to pull your boyfriend into an alley and snap a picture of it...then post on your blog...
And, I hope that answers their question.
