Often as I travel, I notice the colorful graffiti that blankets the walls of city buildings and sometimes even historic structures. I've seen some really intricate and creative graffiti in the strangest of places, sometimes right on a huge downtown city building in full view of any passing police officer or security personnel. Occasionally historic structures fall prey to graffiti, and these images often draw a pretty interesting contrast, in color as well as texture and setting, as the picture above demonstrates. This is an old church on the south coast of the Black Sea in Turkey, and it's riddled with tags, likely from some nighttime visiting rebellious teenagers throughout the years.
The street art often comes in the form of ultra-creative stencil jobs. I photographed this resident T-Rex in a lesser suburb of Argentina's capital city, Buenos Aires. He certainly speaks english very well for a South American.
We all know that graffiti can sometimes be downright strange and often somewhat disturbing. I photographed this awesome and unique paper posting of a handsome Turkish man in downtown Istanbul.
Graffiti can sometimes evoke emotions in ourselves with just a glance. I loved this cheerful face smiling at me from the side of this sky blue house so much that I just needed to stop and snap a photo of it.
On the contrary, street art can also reveal an inner sadness or some suffering that the artist possibly needed to vent onto the concrete with some paints and a brush. Lost love seems to be a common theme on this old wall running through a forest on the small Island of Buyukada off the coast of Istanbul in the Sea of Marmara
