PHOTO DIARY FRANKFURT

PICTURED: PIECE BY UNKNOWN ARTIST (EMAIL ME IF YOU KNOW THIS DUDE).

After looking through my several thousand photos (yes, thousand) from my trip to Germany, I realized that I took a ton of pictures of graffiti and street art. Now, I really hate the term street art, as the influx of people doing street art in the past several years has been huge and rather varied. Also, it's become extremely trendy to call yourself a street artist. And frankly, alot of street art is garbage. Anybody and there mother can go to Home Depot, buy a package of stencils and make "art" with it. However, to up the ante and make art that is both skilled and thought-provoking, that's an entirely different story. With that said, Germany is riddled with street art and graffiti, from small towns like Freiburg to large cities like Berlin. I took a shit ton of photos in every city I visited. So I've decided to post the best of the best online here, for your viewing pleasure. So let's think of this as a photo diary of sorts. I hope you enjoy.
