Arch & Graffiti Wall

ST. LOUIS ARCH & GRAFFITI WALL

3/25/15

     I had never been to the graffiti wall before this, and I was blown away by the incredible artwork that was spray-painted on the wall. We did not have enough time to explore the entire wall because it was so long. However, the parts of it that we did view were breath-taking.

     I loved how blue the sky was on this day. The bright white clouds stood out as well. I took this photograph from the edge of the river looking up at it and the city.

     This bridge contrasted with the white sky very well because of its dark color. It almost looks like a silhouette. There was also a boat at the bottom of the photo cruising along the river.

     I noticed a large metal cylinder with a Star Wars character sprayed on it, and it really caught my eye. It stood out from the rest of the wall because of the bright colors in it. I am also a Star Wars fan, so there was no question I had to capture it.

     These "rasta" colored skulls and boar were so bright color and clearly stenciled, I knew they would show up nicely if I focused on the gravel in front of it. It is a unique image because of the different kind of focus. I love taking unconventional pictures because they tend to turn out cool like this one.

     This part of the wall was definitely the most detailed. Looking up close at these fighting people allowed me to see just how much detail was put into each part of each person. The detail from the faces to the clothes is incredible and caught my eye instantly,
