These shots were taken in Newtown, an inner west suburb of Sydney with a reputation for "extending" the boundaries.
Your opinion on graffiti please - good, bad or somewhere in between?
It's time for an on-line chat forum on the contribution, pluses and or minus's, that graffiti brings to our lives.
How do you differentiate between graffiti as an art form and graffiti that's a 'statement' piece? It's a fine line; somewhere out there is the next Banksy.
The graffiti artist, as opposed to the graffiti destructor, needs an outlet. How about setting aside public spaces to accommodate this form of self expression. Council buldings, playcentres, parks and reserves, train and bus depots could all benefit from an injection of colour, creativity and a greater sense of community. Those bent on destructive images could be encouraged to post their images on 'graffiti central' giving them a much greater audience, and the global exposure that they're not getting now.
