Photo of the Day 11/03/10 - Never Trust a Tie

I can’t quite remember where this is, but I saw this iconic little graphic piece of graffiti twice in New York City, once very small, tagged on a bank and then much larger (I think this was about 2 feet high or larger) on a building the next day. I like the symbolism, and the various levels of what this could and can mean. It’s bright, sophisticated art, ruined only by the crappy tag above it, ironically enough. While my thoughts on graffiti tend towards the spectrum that thinks it’s wrong and almost always tacky (like the tag above, or some idiot who spray paints a tag on a 4,000-year-old monument in Athens, say), there is some amazing graffiti art out there, and in the right setting, it’s pretty powerful. 

Anyone else seen this?

A quick trip to Niagara Falls … it’s still mind bending.

Wandering around the Niagara Falls National Park area, stateside, you mostly see water, trees and tourists, but sometimes something interesting jumps out.
