what's street art photography

the 4 images above are a type of "street art" often called graffiti, essentially graphics created on exterior walls, often without, sometimes with, the permission of the owner of the walls. if, on the basis of my first post, you went to my main street art website - www.sohobooks.net - you'd see hundreds more of this type of street art. and what you are looking at is street art photography; in most of the images, the street graphics are in the midst of a street scene, including streets, signs, doorways, street litter, and the like, all framed by the photographer's eye. and the way a photographer frames the whole scene, or even a part of a street graphic, can make the photo a work of art. (the graphic used to introduce my first blog post is a very small section of an enormous wall graphic and has a valued life of it's own. see the graphic it derives from below.)
