So I haven't posted in a really long time, but I'm still going to keep posting. This, obviously, isn't going to be the kind of blog where I post once a week, but I will continue to post things. I think I've decided to keep posting photos from my travels, but as for the art in Minneapolis I'm going to confine my phtotography, largely, to the Whittier neighborhood of Uptown. As I've been taking these photos I continue to realize how quickly this art disappears. It's very temproal, and very much (I hope) art for the sake of art. I often see something in the street and think "I should go and photograph that" but then I wait a couple of days before I get the motivation to go out and it's been removed. This is the nature of street art at this point in Minneapolis. So I hope that be containing my photography to this area of Minneapolis I can get a better picture of the fluid nature of the art, and the neighborhood. It will give people unfamiliar with street art an idea of how temporal this art really is, and how it manifests itself with in a confined space. You will see, as I have, how artists will tend to post art in the same area, and you can see how they evolve, what they are doing, and how this art, though temporal, changes, and reflects, the nature of the district.
So here is today's post, they are all actually taken today, except for the orange face, which I forgot to post with the last batch of pictures. I also have some photos of street art in Brooklyn I recently took that I may or may not post soon, but they will arrive at some point. Enjoy. (I haven't included locations this time, but the intersections, alleys and streets of these photos will be posted soon...
