Is graffiti art? Is it art if it is executed exceptionally well or is it still just graffiti...or, is it graffiti art? I know that my conservative Grandfather would have said, "It's all vandalism." I'm one of those people that have complete double standards when it comes to "graffiti art" because when I view something I think looks like it took real talent (and is not pornographic) I think it's quite artful; however, when it's really crude or looks like a scribble on a building, I think it's vandalism. Now, don't get me wrong, I have a genuine appreciation for crude and pornographic art...but I don't want to drive by it with my kid staring out the window asking me questions.
The Sunflower Chronicle began in 2012 as my 365 photography project. I have enjoyed using this blog as a way to hone my photography and writing skills and am attempting to reach that 365-images in 2014. Please enjoy this journey with me and create some of your own beauty this year. My website is: http://kms-photography.smugmug.com so check me out there too. I love comments and feedback so drop me a line sometime. Namaste.

Check out the movie "Exit Through the Gift Shop" I wouldn't have thought I'd have found a documentary about graffiti artists interesting, but I did...for some of the same reasons you mention above.
