10th Place~Graffiti~jnconradie

Johannesburg, South Africa

A collage of five graffiti "art" pieces;
all shot during the Challenge period;
postprocessed with some vigour.





"Graffiti ... are images or letters applied without permission to publicly viewable surfaces such as walls or bridges. Graffiti has existed at least since the days of ancient civilizations such as Ancient Greece and the Roman Empire. ... Graffiti can be used to communicate social and political messages, and as a form of advertising. It is also considered a modern art form, and can be seen in galleries around the world."

(From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

Thanks, Sam! (In all honesty, I need to stress that the "cutting into little pieces" is a freely available action for PhotoShop which I simply had to "click" to get to work. So the the credit for that part should definitely not come to me.) Regards jnconradie

Great concept. Perfect execution. I do envy your PP skills, I wish I have a fraction of it. Congratulations. Sam Attal

Thanks, everyone! Delighted that you liked it.

(The collage of the five shots was cut up into all the little pieces by means of one of the PhotoShop actions available from www.panosfx.com. I think this action is called "B&Big Picture".)

Neat and striking. The effect match the fragmented looks of graffiti art, and the shapes from the original collage adds interest. IMO :)
