Street Portrait

This is a work from a stencil art exhibition called The Cans Festival, held recently in a tunnel on Chichely Street in London. It featured works by 34 artists from 12 countries. If you would like to know more about this art form, Google “stencil art.”

I broke my 18-135mm lens while in London and had to work with a 50mm lens. I could not get back far enough to photograph the whole work, so I took 7 separate images and merged them in Photoshop to get this image.

    When I was a child, there used to be an ad on television to not litter. There was an American Indian whose face was portrayed at the end, looking into the camera after someone tosses garbage out their car window onto the land. The indian was crying. It really hit me hard and made me sad as a kid. This image right here brought that right back - with the same old feeling.
