Yorkshire Waterworks Hall of Graffiti, a re-visit. ***IMAGE INTENSIVE***

[lilli]

No ill feeling I was just unsure as to the stance of DP about HDR having seen a post that said it was not allowed in one thread and then a post in another which seemed to be.

My searchfoo was a bit off as I could not find the guidelines and got a tad confused.

That is all x

Apologies for not replying sooner, I'm at work
I'm not out to cause trouble I was merely pointing out that as a supporter of Urbex against Vandalism should DP be 'showcasing' graffiti (in whatever form)? I should have kept my personal feelings toward graff to myself,( but try living on an end terrace in South Oxhey for 5 years and spending every weekend scrubbing your external end wall).

As for finding somewhere for these hooligans to display their talent - many local authorities now have 'graffiti walls' where this art can legally be displayed.

In closing, from now on I promise to stay away from any reports containing Graff and as for the inferrence of there being 'ill will', there's none here whatsoever, just a little confusion.

It's there, it's part of the building. It's part of what we see when we go to places.

Is it not possible to like the actual artwork whilst maintaining the opinion that it should not be there in the first place?

Incidentally there's a massive political argument about this exact principle going on in Bristol at the moment. Bristol has a big thing with graffiti and gets a lot of tourism money out of it, despite it being illegal and a "nuisance". No easy answers etc.

Just wow!

 

[rectory-rat]

Very nice from both of you

I would suggest that the reason graff artists choose to 'display' their work where they do may be similar to why many of us would not enjoy a permission visit as much as an illicit splore. Much of the attraction probably lies in the sense of 'behind the scenes'

Plus, at the end of the day for every HDR shot there's also presumably an untouched original somewhere!

Or 3 to 5 untouched originals in my case.

HDR: I don't like it, but I can't stop playing with it.

I can't stop playing with it.

I wouldn't worry about it too much mate, most men have that problem.
