Brooklyn Graffiti

On my adventures this weekend, I found myself on the Williamsburg bridge over to Brooklyn. How I got there is still a mystery to me. My goal for the day was to just keep walking south, explore a part of the city that still was a mystery. Getting away from Times Square was a nice break considering now I know that part like the back of my hand. Anyways, Soho was cool and the part of China town I smelled seemed alright, but what really caught my attention was the bridge. I had never seen such a large bridge not in a car- so, as part of the adventure, my feet kept walking towards the large piece of articture. From far away this bridge looks pristine- with the water glisting below it. But once a little closer and actually on the bridge, I noticed that it was covered with grafiti. My first thoughts- how coudl someone ever deface this? Some people worked years to build this bridge and how disprectful to deface it. Then I started to actually look at some of the spray paint drawings- some of them are not just drawings, they are pieces of art. The creativity that went into some of the murals is nothing short of talent. Granted, do I still think its wrong to deface someones property, yes- but do I no think that some Grafiti is not just drawings, Yes.

Lesson Learned:

Slow down and really look at things, you never know what your missing. Some objects may seem run of the mill, but take a closer look and there might be a masterpiece.

Peace, Love and Spray Paint,
