Inscrutable Spray Paintings






















Beautiful buildings have their charm, but they must compete with the graffiti artists of Romania. When I tire of gorgeous Nouveau facades and architectural flourishes, I find myself pointing the camera at these strange and hilarious images, many of which are strangely beautiful (or beautifully strange). I'm equally attracted to the ruined Soviet cars, which serve as a kind of ugly punctuation for the sea of brand new Mercedes and Fiats that comprise most of the traffic in Bucharest....but I'll save those for another post.
