Welcome

This is an attempt to document street art. I do not necessarily go in search of street art -- or rather, I would even if I wasn't trying to document it. I'm going to try to keep my camera with me at most times.

I can't include every single thing I see, there's too much that can be considered street art. Rather, I will record the things that pop out at me. If I don't notice it, or it doesn't strike me as in any way special, it doesn't matter.

Which brings me to the point: this isn't a documentation of street art in Washington D.C, or in Maryland, or anywhere else. This is an attempt to record one person's experience. How much effect does street art have on a single passerby, going through life. If I go to Arizona for a weekend, and see a neat sticker on a lamp post, I'll take a picture of it, because it is part of my experience.

Any street art that I create is superfluous, but may still be shamelessly flaunted on this blog. It will be marked as my own.

I was instructed to include the following about each thing I find:
Location.
Date.
Material.

Probably more.
Let's see how Long I can keep this up.
