A walk with me down the street can take much longer than one might think! I pretty much always have a camera in my purse, and thanks to my trusty iphone--even when I forget my "real" camera I'm still able to capture quality photos. My best friend always jokes with me and tells me I can see anything in an "artful" way. Then she usually follows by calling me something like hippie butterfly child--especially after I paused for [a good] 20 minutes to take photos of bark patterns on a tree when we were running late for a movie. What can I say? The world inspires me.... and I am somewhat of a hippie butterfly child! [without getting into art theory] The thing I love about photography the most is that it allows me to use my eye/perspective & camera to record the world and its natural [and sometimes unnatural] beauty. The world is my canvas.
I had a good conversation this morning with a friend and a little-known Manhattan Beach street artist (or local legend depending on how you see it) that inspired me to dig through my photos and put up a few pictures I've taken of STREET ART on random walks over the past few years. STREET art doesn't just see the world as a canvas.... but actually USES it as a canvas.
