Hello fellow Steemeans!
For a street photography project of mine I decided to make a photo series of (stickers) on the street and inside other public places. Most of these photos were taken around the city of Rotterdam in the Netherlands.
It seems once you start paying attention to something, you tend to notice it everywhere, and I do mean everywhere!
I wondered why people put all kinds of stickers at public places. So, I started looking at what messages they held. There were stickers for promoting of companies, others were invitations for events and many just for fun.
Some street signs or traffic lights are so heavily stickered that they formed multiple layers!
Usually, putting stickers on public property or street signs such as traffic lights and utility poles is against the law. But I guess people just cannot help themselves and feel the urge to mark territory.
Engaging in this kind of an activity can become quite a sticky situation!
Next time you are out and about, look for these urban messages left for you to discover.

What is it with people that they feel the urge to stick things to everything they see? Great images though!

It's also an easy and accessible way to create something visual and/or express yourself publicly while remaining more or less anonymous.
I think it's very interesting how in some cities, stickers like that are much more common than in others. - there are places where stickers of all sorts are literally everywhere while there are other places where you virtually don't see them at all.

Good point, the anonymous part makes it easy to express yourself in this fashion, and indeed some cities you hardly find stickers anywhere! Tnx for dropping by!
