A pedicab parking lot hidden amongst graffiti covered walls. Canon EOS 7D EF-S 17-85mm at 66mm f/8 1/100 ISO 100

The splash of colour and shape is filled with movement and energy. The images move so much it seems to belie the fact that they are painted on walls. Monsters, and fairy’s, letters and words dance around the parking lot and every time I look I see more.

I am always looking for interesting graffiti to photography but it is more interesting with something in the foreground. I was driving around Victoria when I caught a bright flash of colour out of the corner of my eye. I turned around and came back to see a very interesting pedicab parking lot. The whole area was covered in graffiti. I wanted an image that made the eye work a little to discover what the place was so I positioned myself to hide the front half of one pedicab and the back half of the other. In the riot of colour and shape the viewer gets to discover what the image is all about and that makes the experience richer.
