Photo of the Day: Phoenix Street Art

graffiti  (ɡræˈfiːtiː)
pl n  , sing -to
1. ( sometimes with singular verb ) drawings, messages, etc, often obscene, scribbled on the walls of public lavatories, advertising posters, etc

(Definition from www.dictionary.com)

The term graffiti scares people. It scares them because they do not know there is more to it than gang symbols and vandalism. It is an art that is just as good as anything you can see at a museum. Think of it as an unconventional art, where no canvas is needed, just simply a wall and some paint, it creates a story greater than anything you pay to see or pay to have hanging over your fireplace. It is not there to bring in some income, it is there to be noticed and heard or sometimes just to get a glimpse of the beauty and talent one can create with their hands. Here is one of my favourite “graffiti” pieces or as I like to call it street art, I captured in Downtown Phoenix, Arizona through the lens of my fabulous Nikon 1.

So what does it mean? Well, that’s up to you to decide.
