The Life, Death, Life, and Limbo of A Mural, In Which I Learn about Urban Art and Access Issues, Photography

Art of the outside world. Street Art cities. Also, many cities have guides & maps to their murals.

My photo plan for this week was to use the phone camera for some sort of Gen-not-mine selfie exercise.

Not so fast.

I did some research.

But not enough. Headline on screenshot says 2024. After, I saw that the caption says 3 years ago.

Photo lesson for this week. Scout your subject.

  1. There was a mosaic mural in Seaside, Oregon along the entire east wall of a huge grocery store. The store moved to the other side of the highway, and locals were unable to convince the city to save the mural. It was MCM, not my style at all, but it was a sorry thing to allow it to be bulldozed for parking.
