“it is pure potential. Every ball or skein of yarn holds something inside it, and the great mystery of what that might be can be almost spiritual”

Street art is visual art created in public locations, usually unsanctioned artwork executed outside of the context of traditional art venues. The term gained popularity during the graffiti art boom of the early 1980s and continues to be applied to subsequent incarnations. Stencil graffiti, wheatpasted poster art or sticker art, and street installation or sculpture are common forms of modern street art. Video projection, yarn bombing and Lock On sculpture became popularized at the turn of the 21st century.
The terms "urban art", "guerrilla art", "post-graffiti" and "neo-graffiti" are also sometimes used when referring to artwork created in these contexts.[1] Traditional spray-painted graffiti artwork itself is often included in this category, excluding territorial graffiti or pure vandalism.
Street art is often motivated by a preference on the part of the artist to communicate directly with the public at large, free from perceived confines of the formal art world.[2] Street artists sometimes present socially relevant content infused with esthetic value, to attract attention to a cause or as a form of "art provocation".[3]
Street artists often travel between countries to spread their designs. Some artists have gained cult-followings, media and art world attention, and have gone on to work commercially in the styles which made their work known on the streets.

"Occasionally in life there are those moments of unutterable fulfillment which cannot be completely explained by those symbols called words.
Their meanings can only be articulated by the inaudible language of the heart."

From 'Street Life in London', 1877, by John Thomson and Adolphe Smith.
“…The" wall working" or fence working, described by Parker as a " fine property," is a system of cheap advertising. Where a portion of a wall or fence, near some public thoroughfare, can be rented or obtained gratuitously, it is covered with an array of boards, which are hung up in the morning and taken in at night. In this instance, the boards covered with thin bills are supplied to Cannon [seated on the right], who hangs them up in the morning and receives about a shilling weekly for each board. But the number of boards afford no clue to the income derived from this mode of advertising, as an indefinite number of dummies are displayed to fill up vacant spaces. The dummies are carefully selected; the advertisements they carry must be as imposing as the names of their owners are respectable. Cannon assured me that it required tact and experience to manage this sort of property. Unfortunately the dummies have been dominant of late, owing to depression in all departments of trade. The result is that the" wall worker's " property produces a return so poor as hardly to repay the pains bestowed on its management.”

So many life stories with these elderly persons within the Dong ethnie, the entire memory of a generation. While the new generation is seating on the knees of old one. I really enjoyed the looks, especially those of the three on the left, where I have done the focus. They are dressed in their traditional clothes for a celebration organized by the government, this is what they are looking to the right.
The tradition were restricted under the Mao governance, things have changed 5 years ago, nonetheless they are wearing the typical shoes of this period.
Jay and I were in Bahrain for two and a half years while I was teaching at the Bahraini Air Force. I arrived in January of 1989 and we ventured onward to Dubai in the middle of 1991. We lived in several locations during our time on the island.
The abandoned Coast Guard facility that would house rescue equipment, sits next to the abandoned rail leads to the Elberta, MI carferry ramp. Lake Michigan carferrys were once a thriving and interesting part of railroading.This dock was for the Ann Arbor Railroad. Last used in 1982,the dock is shown here in 1989.The main part of this building was built in 1887. Amazingly,the building was saved, the land around here was turned into a park, and this building is now used for wedding receptions.
