Vandalism/Graffiti
Where it exists? why it exist?
Graffiti exists in places like Los angles , Bogota Colombia , Australia and New York. Mostly you could find it in public places and open building that have a lot of space. Also Graffiti exist to expose the deep contradictions as a society also tagging is really common in not so good places. People find tagging as a vandalism but it kind of depends on the art. Which is destroying public and private which is most people get in trouble for.
How you went about taking or creating your photos?
I'm always surrounded by things that are being vandalized and graffiti is everywhere where I live so taking these pictures weren't really that difficult for me in my opinion. But the only thing that was difficult was trying to choose only 10 photos that show graffiti/Vandalism. Because Graffiti counts as Vandalism so it was really difficult to just choose 10. Also I thought it would be a good idea to put the pics Black and White because it has that type of feel. Also felt that black and white can bring more contrast to the photos and have it more in depth. Overall I'm pretty happy about my photos.
Personal opinion on the topic
In my personal opinion I don't really find it a problem because I'm always surrounded by stuff being vandalized and in my neighborhood graffiti is everywhere where I live. So I'm already used to the fact that things are always being written on and stuff are being destroyed in private and public properties. But I also think that it's bad to destroy stuff and tag on properties that aren't suppose to be written on. If your just tagging just to tag then you should just not do it at all. I personally think that Chicano Park is a great example of art or street art is great too. I rather see art in the streets instead of seeing random words being written on random things.
