I think this is a good way to combine street art and photography. Hearing street art, we all think of graffiti on walls. He used a smart way to combine both together. It is interesting and can let people interact with each other. It doesn’t matter what race, age or ethnicity you are, you can participate. It is not limited to people, but anyone and everyone who is interested can participate. I like this idea because it captures many different emotions of people. And because it is black and white, it makes these pictures seem more united as one. If there was color, the effect would be really different. When I first saw someone these pictures, I couldn’t help but giggle at some of the expressions they had. These pictures are pictures that make you smile when you walk pass by it. I think it also connects the people of the community together. People would probably talk to one another asking if they took the picture. They would be able to laugh about the silly poses they made. I think for my community it would be a good idea to have a photographic wall of how the trains use to look. The area where I live has train tracks above the ground and over the streets. It would be interesting to see how the trains use to look and how the area has changed.
