Graffiti
The word graffiti comes from the Italian graffiato — "scratched" — and it says it all: marks left on the city's skin, uninvited, often anonymous.
Not all of it deserves attention. Some is pure vandalism. But some stops you mid-stride — a mural that transforms a blank wall into a statement, a stencil that makes you think twice about where you are.
These are the ones I photograph. From Brooklyn to Brick Lane, street art is where the city speaks loudest.
