The Sophomore Slump 
You got some cool shots of the graffiti, Rommel. That was a good movie!!
Thanks Amy. Glad to finally put this all together in one post.
Beautiful art-work…can’t even imagine some are not real.
Made you look twice eh. 😀 Thanks for the comment and visit, Alok Singhal.
Amazing graffiti Rommel, and pics. PS I loved the movie CRASH!
Seen it before or just recently?
So awesome!!
Awesome, it is! 🙂
Awesome peace bEcause the words were written on the wall they conveyed the soul of wit.
Very nice to look at these that way. Thanks for the comment and visit.
Very welcome.
Do YOU see art or vandalism?
Art, definitely art.
this is it! street art! one of things in the usa is better than in japan. street art in japan doesn’t attract me.
A lot of those in Japan looks like billboard signs. 🙂 No offense.
You captured the colors and and people really well. Thanks for sharing! -Maria
I so love it when there are people who just nonchalantly walk and get into the pics. Thanks for the comment and visit, maria and seth.
You have acquired a really nice portfolio of street art, Rommel! I see more than I ever photograph, but I always enjoy! I did love Silver Linings Playbook, and I’m a Sufjan Stevens fan–my son introduced me several years ago knowing I would like him. Good to hear from you! 🙂
So much better street arts that I didn’t get the chance to photograph. It’s hard to just suddenly stop the car in California. 😀 My heads are bow down to Sufjan Stevens. Illinoise is a brilliant, brilliant, brilliant album. Good to hear you like him.
I know some folks look at this as just graffiti but I look at it as some amazing art!
It’s in perspective, I guess. Beauty in the eye of the beholder, I guess. 🙂
I’m always fascinated by murals and street art… LA calls itself the mural capital of the world… I love it.
So many cities that easily be that title … but I’ve been places and I have to say LA deserves the self-proclaimed label. 😉
So much talent out there. Enjoy all your shares. Very sad about Heath Ledger. Have a wonderful weekend! 🙂
A real loss in the film industry. Even sadder that he was making so more and more better films. He’s remembered.
So true.
I really love your combination of street artwork bro …keep it up
what a feast of a post – enjoyed scrolling it twice and actually need to another look-see – love the street art – and california rox
California rocks! High five! 😀
high five back atcha – and hope you are having a nice week amigo 🙂 ❤
I especially liked “A Touch of Venice.” Is that a post card? I pinned one of the street art photos to my “street art” board on Pinterest. https://www.pinterest.com/gaylealstrom/street-art/
“A Touch of Venice” is on a wall of a parking lot. Cool, eh.
Good captures.
As for The Dark Knight; that was a seamless film. I can’t think of a single flaw with that movie.
Plenty of great street art here. I love the George Washington quote!!
