Regardless of taste, the creativity of art is a uniquely human expression of many of our thoughts, impressions and emotions. At least, I can’t think of another animal that has created language, painted chapel ceilings or achieved the myriad ways in which we are creative. Of course, that doesn’t mean that some animal might not surpass us in some future (or we finally encounter E.T.).
It’s not often that I photograph any of those human expressions, but here’s one of them…
I know that graffiti might be a controversial expression of art to some, but an expression it is. I found this work as my wife and I were taking one of our Cardigan Welsh Corgis for a walk along a rail trail. As the light was playing across it, I knew I had to capture it.
And, yes, I played a bit with this image, as it is an exposure bracketed set of images, which enabled me to push the color expression a bit more. The artist(s) definitely created something interesting on this rusty old bridge. Also, I marvel at how they suspended themselves to paint with a clear vision of what they wanted to achieve. I still appreciate this view; hope you enjoy it as well.
