These professional photographers and authors, who specialize in urban and low-light photography using both film and digital formats, took great pains to faithfully capture the flowering of the graffiti movement of the post-train era by documenting the most significant murals created between 1996 - 2001.

Graffiti video

I very much enjoyed this video and appreciate the dedication that James and Karla both bring to their vocation as photographers. At first glance, some graffiti productions can be confusing to interpret. However, each have a distinct message or story which the artist wishes to convey . James and Karla went further to interview each artist and let them "speak" about their works. Thanks very much for this presentation.
