Twin City Photos

Looking down the center of rolls of sheet steel on train cars.

I often feel ambivalent about graffiti, as in some cases I think it contaminates, while in other cases it seems to add life to something dull and dreary. Case and point just recently the area around Minnehaha Falls was spray painted by vandals. Actually it was more like tagging, which are basically gang markings. Being this is a park and tourist area frequented by families, this clearly is an act of vandalism. It can be quite difficult to remove spray paint, especially in hard to reach areas. On the other hand take this abandoned train stop in the photo. The graffiti does seem to add a bit of life to the scene. Judging by the amount of it, the city appears to tolerate it. Or maybe they’ve just given up.

I’m actually starting to get out more nowadays to get some photos. Feels great after all the hectic months (almost a year actually) I’ve had.
