So true. I really like how this image reflects in four words the get-in-get-out process of tagging.
I am still in love with this ku…
Thank you so much to you both for your comments.
Yep, graffiti has its own relationship with light and shade, and with the architecture of buildings and their own relationship with light.
Good one Helen! ;-)
