Street art: The classic to the subversive

I write about it, photograph it and create it

Street art is proof that some voices refuse to be ignored. They will sing anywhere and at any time. Throughout Philadelphia, there is a group of unknown artists who leave artwork behind on street signs, in train stations, on park benches and, in some cases, simply leaning on a curb.

Some of the work is good. Time was taken to create a piece of durable substance. Other works are spontaneous, fleeting and fragile. Rain would nearly destroy them. A third group is that of the accidental. All over the city, people leave behind beauty, weirdness and, ultimately, a wonderful little piece of themselves.

If I find it, I photograph it.
