Graffiti.

As many of you know, I did my crime article on graffiti in the Haight. While I was doing my reporting, I walked from one end of Haight Street all the way to the other end. As I walked down the street I stopped at all the various graffiti along the way and took some pictures. Honestly, I was shocked by all the graffiti that is so artistic and done with such talent.

Here are some of the pictures I took:








(from the outside of soul patch tattoo shop)

(this one is insane! you can't even tell it is on a door, it looks like a real painting!)




(notice the "fuck pigs"... not really the smartest idea to tag if you don't wanna go to jail haha)






(this was actually the only real tagging i found)

and then there was one wall that really caught my attention...



See, the thing is that it is a blank wall and really what harm would it be if it was used to graffiti? I think it is time for San Francisco to get with the times and start a program so graffiti artists can legally show off their talent. Like in Venice Beach in SoCal... they have walls reserved for graffiti... and guess what? They probably don't have as big as a problem with graffiti as San Francisco currently does.
