Street scenes and particularly street art -- deliberate as in murals and graffitti, or incidental as in found objects or juxtapositions of color, shapes and textures--has always captured my imagination, and I find myself spending more and more time looking for potential "urban imagery" in both familiar and unfamiliar surroundings. The challenge for me is to find a way to reinterpret what already exists, be it the image of a rock star or a small segment of a large mural, a rusted door or broken window. Often the reinterpretation is aided by context, while sometimes zeroing in on a small part of the whole (eliminating context) creates a new message.
