Cool pictures! As part of a project about asylum seekers in Brussels, I made this shot. The graffiti says “solidarity for undocumented immigrants”. And this second one is half funny, half scary tree that I found during a walk.

Santiago, Chile is full of great graffiti!

Since on my recent trip to South India I made walls my major photographic theme, it’s almost unavoidable I ran into graffiti as well. You’ll find several examples in my (still small) gallery “Walls of South India”: http://marjoleink.photoshelter.com/gallery/Walls-of-South-India/G0000P7XbqGlByo0/ Possibly my favorite (for now at least) is “Sorry”: http://marjoleink.photoshelter.com/gallery-image/Walls-of-South-India/G0000P7XbqGlByo0/I0000FnPvHIt51gU (I’m not posting a lot yet since I’m mainly concentrating on the design of my site – more will follow when the design is a bit more stable!)
