Additional information

As a 'yoof' of the 80's i was really into Hip Hop and, naturally, graffiti too. Tagging trains , walls, anything, went hand in hand with the music. Now in my 30's rather than tagging walls i'm going about taking pictures of other people's tags on walls. This 'piece' happens to be in Prague's old town, i still love the fonts that people use for tags, the chunky text..."ah the smell of aerosol...", now where did i leave that marker pen?

Anyway, about the shot,i thought i'd give the black and white shots a rest for a while. This one i really like just for the simple shape and text against the plain background of the wall. Compositionally the sloping floor bugs me a little bit as it interferes with the clean look of the shot, but i didn't want to crop any tighter so that's the compromise, if you're reading this and care to comment let me know what you think?

This really looks like acid. Don't touch ;-)

I love this shot... But probably for all the wrong reasons!
