Colorful Art on the streets of NYC

One of the cool things about walking around NYC iis you never know what you will come across, take this colorful wall for example, it is so colorfula nd vibrant it catche sones eye from a distance so I had to head down the street to see it closer and get a couple of shots.

Someone asked and I should have said the writing on the mural are about dreams thinsg such as My dream is to be an Artist

This also fits for a post for @juliank’s daily photo contest for info check out the FAQ page

This is for the Thursday Colorful Photography

And in Stark contrast to the Mural, right beside me as I took the first photo, was this tagging on a brick wall, now I love some of the artistic graffitti around but stuff like this not so much so let me finish off with.

A closer in shot of the Mural, it seems ot be part of the Chime for Change initiative founded by Gucci, but other than that I do not know what that is about.

We're at a really interesting place for photography, from what I can tell. I'm heavily invested in Canon glass, but the Fujifilm X series (X-H1 especially) looks amazing. Canon and Nikon are both set to release serious mirrorless cameras, too, and Canon's dual-pixel autofocus is almost DSLR fast... Should be interesting to see what all these players come up with.

The colorful murals are so much nicer to look at, aren't they @tattoojay?!! I've recently done a lot of posts featuring the murals around here in playa del Carmen, Mexico, but the last two I found last week sometime are out of this world!! If you like a good mural, check them out :)

I'm guessing the artist(s) had permission for that one. That would have required a bit of planning and a cherry-picker to pull off!

When I lived in Spain, I remember coming across a variety of graffiti in random places. Most was more like your second photo but, every once in awhile, you would see something really well done...

That is awesome. I love it when you encounter massive murals like that. And this one has such a good colour scheme! My personal favourite has always been the graffiti you see on the sides of the new york subway train carriages. I don't know why, I have just always thought they looked amazing!

I suppose they're on specific lines? I remember reading a story about how taggers used to sneak into the tunnels and would paint the trains at night etc.. especially in the 80s and then as a way to combat that the city eventually said to them ... "ok, look.. here's a couple trains you can go to town on .. just leave the rest alone ok?" and that seems to be what they do now. Not sure if that's correct anymore though.
