I love the new photos. Vibrant colours, bold, embracing the messages or questioning them openly. Decisive. Exciting to see the play between titles and images. Donna’s humour is coming to the fore! Great work.
I love Donna’s new posting! I see a journey in the photos, a debate,
and an adventure in the titles. Exciting.
Am thrilled by this instalment. The words made me wonder who wrote them and why and for whom, and could they ever imagine that they might flow through your piercing photographs into me and have an impact?
I love you – I have issues !?! I love it!
Nice work. I love the idea of graffiti photos
I will definitely bookmark your blog.
The eyes have it – and you have a good one. Not sure what kind of camera you use, but regardless, there is talent behind the lens. Looking forward to seeing more like this – with maybe some comments from you.
You’re on top of the game. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing. What a pleasure!
Fantastic photographs! What an observant eye you have – gives one a whole new take on Ottawa. They certainly made me wonder about the writer of the messages! Thanks – loved them.
Your wonderful sense of humour so often shines in your photos. Looking forward to more!
The photo’s are amazing! What is commercial, what is art, what is graffiti – very challenging. Every picture telling the beginning of a story, of the life of the person that made the sign, but leaving us with a question, wanting to know more. And every one giving a tiny glimpse of the world around the sign, also making us want more. Made me wonder about our lives – food, love, carpet cleaning and — hole warmers??? Can’t wait for the next instalment!!!
Good stuff, my favorite is the last one. See you next week
