Roaming the Streets Series - Post I

Diverticulitis, if this is what I have, is a Bitch. So to take my mind off the pain, I decided to write about a new series of work I am compiling called Roaming the Streets. I spend as much time as I possibly can, driving around the streets and alley's of Milwaukee in search of the uncommon, the unusual. The next couple of posts I will focus on some interesting Graffiti I have found in some very out of the way places. This first photo, World of Graffiti I was discovered in an alley in the Third Ward, on the back of a vacant building. I find this type of art fasinating, the kids so very talented, and wish there was a constructive outlet for them that wasn't destructive in the eyes of the law. One of my dreams is to create what I call the Graffiti Project, where a building that is designated for destruction be opened up for 3 months to the taggers for them to get creative, without any repercussions. Then take the opportunity to photograph it before it is demolished, as a living history of the art project. So many dreams, so little money, even less time.
