Pintada on Libertador

Pintada Politica - Libertador & Dorrego
Pintada Politica under the train tracks along Libertador & Dorrego. You can see that the message has been painted over many times. Certain high traffic spots attract the painters. La Pared Mutante is a very interesting fotolog that has been documenting the successive pintadas politicas painted on a single building since 2006 [Via PeruFotoLibre].

The graffiti out there never ceases to impress me.

Anyway, just wanted to congratulate you on your 1000th post milestone; it made me realise that I've been following your RSS feeds since, well, almost 5 years if I calculate correctly. So, congrats, and thank you!

Love graffiti shots. Especially like it when graffiti is tracked and stored. It can be so beautiful and the messages show where life was at that moment. Its temporary and local nature doesn't give us time to appreciate it. Now, as a popular photographic art form it gets that added time it deserves. 5Pointz (www.5ptz.com/) in Queens, though more contrived is a great museum of graffiti.

Congrats Thomas on your 1000th post. As I went through, I realized how much I liked your blog as I recognized all the people without the captions! If I ever had to describe your style, I would say you really nailed it in that post. Looking forward to another thousand.
