Graffitti Graveyard

Well to be honest these images don't REALLY fit my theme. I choose this site because i was attempting to make a photo mosaic with the graffiti as the background and my friend was supposed to stand in the middle of the picture but it didn't really work out that way.
The four images i picked were the most powerful from the contact sheet. The first picture i feel is very strong in the aspect of depth of field i know that's photo one but it still applies. The second picture i posted on the sole fact that it is unlike any thing i have ever seen i cant take credit for this picture because the person who drew this is the real artist i just captured it. I believe it shows a elderly man of Asian decent with a quill or pen type of thing. The other part that struck me is the fact that not only is this on the side of a wall but it is on the side of an arch that is at least 7 stories above the Mississippi river and the fact that it is flawless in such an awkward place is remarkable to me. The third i think is my strongest picture in this set. The horizontal lines colliding with the vertical beam shows the viewer where to focus first, with that there is a less focused and darker background which evokes the viewer to again look closer and i hope draws them to feel a curiosity as to where the picture was taken. Four and Five i kind of just threw up here because i like what is shown or said from the paint on the wall.

Bus stop Nap

This picture to me when i took it was one in which i hoped to just take and hope for the best thinking that nothing to remarkable would come out of it i actually came to appreciate and favor this photo from others I've taken. Due to the sole fact of the simplicity of the photo, and the familiar occasions i can relate to from wakening up from a "Bus Stop Nap"

Set of Three

The name kind of tells you what you need to know. This was one photo that i colored from a black and white photo and was pleased enough to follow it up with two more of the same picture while allowing myself to use different colors in order to bring the three together.
