I think this project was very well crafted and thought out. I love the way you found symbolism in all of this graffiti, and portrayed it as an artistic form rather than vandalism. You are very creative. Great job!

I found the door in front of the factory very appealing. It not only created an illusion that it was an entrance but also convinced me that graffiti can be a form of art. Though we are limited by the digital camera, you made an artistic decision to change the texture of the photograph that succeeded to draw the attention of the audience. Well done!

I was actually curious about what the colors looked like before the Photoshopping, but in the end I decided that it worked out really well and a cat killed my curiosity. I applaud your Photoshop skills.

Great job man, i was very impressed with the quality of your street photography presentation. I also liked how we both had different views on graffiti and what not. It’s nice sometimes that we show both sides of the spectrum. You might not know what im referring to but all in all great job. lol

Mark, I really really liked your project. I thought your presentation was excellent. The graffiti in your pictures was more of an art form than the graffiti we usually see on the sides of buildings. The fact that you photoshopped it just brought out the beauty of it. Very creative and very colorful. I love it! =)

First one to upload, eh? Think your hot stuff, eh? Well, in all seriousness, I truly enjoyed your presentation Mark. It was uplifting to see the photographer and the photoshop artist mix so nicely. I’m glad you used photoshop to recreate some of the colors because pictures may get one close to being at the place, but there is still a degree of separation. I like how you tried to, and successfully, bridged that gap. Kudos.

I love how you chose to position and work on your theme of the clash between the industrial and artistic presence in your neighborhood. Just like Keyana commented, people discredit those who edit their pictures but people also discredit grafitti as an art. The grafitti artwork that you captured were eye-catching and beautiful.

I agree with Rachel 100%. Usually people in a sense discredit those who edit their pictures, but I really loved your images and the fact that you chose to edit them. The vibrant color and techniques you applied really gave each image a wow factor. The murals and grafitti on the walls and buildings were so intricate and simply beautiful, so thank you for capturing that.

Mark, I love your project. It is really interesting how you juxtapose the factory workers’ culture next to the new artsy culture. I also like how you edited your images with photoshop. I can tell that you worked really hard on this project and enjoyed doing it to. It was apparent that your heart was in these pictures. Great job.
