"Martini" kristin fouquet This is my favorite hangover story. A raise of the glass to the inimitable Dorothy Parker. You Were Perfectly Fine by Dorothy Parker The pale young man eased himself carefully into the low chair, and rolled his head to the side, so that the cool chintz comforted his cheek and temple. “Oh, dear,” he said.”Oh, dear, oh, dear, oh, dear. Oh.” The clear-eyed girl, sitting light and erect on the couch, smiled brightly at him. “Not feeling so well today?” she said. “Oh, I’m great,” he said.”Corking, I am. Know what time I got up? Four o’clock this afternoon, sharp. I kept trying to make it, and every time I took my head off the pillow, it would roll under the bed. This isn’t my head I’ve got on now. I think this is something that used to belong to Walt Whitman. Oh, dear, oh, dear, oh, dear.” “Do you think maybe a drink would make you feel better?” she said. “The hair of the mastiff that bit me?” he said.”Oh, no,
what great photos, Kristin. Graffiti in black and white - it works surprisingly well. Wonderful job - as always.
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff.
ReplyDeleteThanks to you both. I was so pleased they put it in the Issuu format.
ReplyDeleteI have always been attracted to graffiti as I feel it reflects our culture, especially in other foreign countries where posters and graffiti are more political then here in the USA that focuses more on commercialism.
ReplyDeleteThough I normally show my graffiti images in colour, I have found that some are best shown as a B/W or duo-tone, since we then focus on the textures and the message imbedded within.
Thank you for sharing and have a wonderful weekend,

Yes, as Paula alluded to earlier, the color is a bit of a departure from the usual graffiti photographs. I felt that the B&W did display the texture as you said and also worked with the gray theme. Most of the street art displayed was in black or gray tones anyway and the ones that had some color didn't depend on it, at least in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteThanks for viewing and commenting. I'm always interested in your insights.
Wonderful weekend to you as well.
