Cannot hold you to its heat.
Your temperature's too hot for taming,
Your flaming feet burn up the street.
I first started photographing graffiti in 1999, and in 2000 I setup a website to share my photos. Initially a mix of different subjects, but it soon became almost entirely of graffiti. I uploaded over 6000 photos to this site. Eventually Flickr came along a few years later and I started using that instead, and stopped updating the website. I shut it down completely a few years ago.
I occasionally get requests from people for photos of pieces by specific graffiti writers, and I thought it might be a good idea to upload them all to Flickr.
Most of these photos were taken on film, scanned, and saved at a small size, back in the day when people were still using 56k modems to connect to the internet and small filesizes were desirable. So apologies for the quality and size for some of these. Someday I'd like to get them all scanned in again at a higher resolution.
Like my photos? Buy me a coffee!
The Animus Art Collective’s installation, Flaming Cactus, transforms ordinary streetscapes through the use of vibrantly colored zip ties affixed to street poles. Originally installed at FIGMENT 2011 on Governors Island, the installation brought its playful energy and whimsy to Astor Place in Manhattan.
The zip ties, once wrapped and locked around the street poles, have tails of excess material. These tails create the effect of cactus needles sprouting from the trunk of the street poles.
In an interview for the Figment Project, Animus co-founder, Preston Dane said, “Our hope is to show that adding art to a community or space doesn’t require a lot of resources, formal education, or even money. Creativity is something we’re all capable of.”

IC 405 (also known as the Flaming Star Nebula, SH 2-229, or Caldwell 31) is an emission and reflection nebula[1] in the constellation Auriga, surrounding the bluish star AE Aurigae. It shines at magnitude +6.0. Its celestial coordinates are RA 05h 16.2m dec +34° 28′.[2] It surrounds the irregular variable star AE Aurigae and is located near the emission nebula IC 410, the open clusters M38 and M36, and the K-class star Iota Aurigae. The nebula measures approximately 37.0' x 19.0', and lies about 1,500 light-years away from Earth.[2] It is believed that the proper motion of the central star can be traced back to the Orion's Belt area.[2] The nebula is about 5 light-years across.[1
We did a divealong to Flaming Gorge this last weekend and had a fantastic time. Even caught me some bass.

This is a National Recreation Area which spans the borders of Wyoming and Utah.
As you drive towards the enormous artificial lake which was formed by the impressive Flaming Gorge Dam you pass through some wonderful geological formations.
The area gets its name from the red rock.
Driving through this area is like driving through a 3D Geography text book!
