#Blackandwhitechallenge

This week I have been playing a game of  Facebook chasey. Facie Chasie. Preprint Poetry nominated me for the black and white challenge. Five days. Shoot, post, nominate and pass it on.  

 It has demonstrated either my acutely insular social media circle, or how widespread this method of communication can be. But that is another conversation, best had in my head or at night with variously drug/alcohol affected philosophers.

 In a blog post apparently it gets a bit boring, ruminations about the nature of social interaction in modern day.

 This is not boring though, this black and white challenge. I have selected a bunch of pics I took, unedited aside from being shot in black and white mode on my Sony Alpha 7r. Plug Plug...and aside from any change arising in the transfer from the world to me to camera to Picasa to JPeg to Blogger to you.

 Oh yeah, and I threw in a colour one - Yeh-Nah - you decide if black and white is awesome.

 I reckon nothing beats it

Your Art Culture

Commentary is good, particularly coming from within and appearing right where the comment is aimed. We need more of it and we need to respond to it. According to me. Watch this space, soon, when I am not supposed to be 'working' my other job (you know the one you do because you have to) I will dig into this further.

The walls that went

My greatest flaw as a commentator on street art, graffiti and urban art 'discourse' is my point of reference. This being an assumption of impermanence,  difference and a direct link between art and social position. For the next while I am going to assume that all of my assumptions are false, and see where this takes me.

On the fourth day of Christmas our Kaff-eine rocked dope art

Thank you streetadvent.com for this project because it gives me pause to reflect on the awesome work done by each of the artists this year.  An especially big THANK YOU to the artists for making it really easy to take great pics.  Actually, any photo of any of your work looks cool by default.  THANK YOU to my fellow fanatics (Vetti, ArtyGraffarti, Street Tart, Dean Sunshine) who chase these artists down and chase my tail.  You keep me on my toes and buoy my enthusiasm.  And THANK YOU finally, goes out to Kaff-eine, for your reminder that this event had even started (I would have lived in November forever) and the tip off so I could sneak a pic before I headed into oblivion again!
