Graffiti Makes Great Background for Photos

Graffiti Girl by Sweet JuniperJust a quick post tonight with a little inspiration for me to start a new photo project. I am so going to do this! Sweet Juniper is blog written by a couple of urban hipster parents who have taken to photographing their cute and spunky daughter in front of graffiti. Simple as that. Dutch from Sweet Juniper says:

“I’ve got a whole flickr set of these Graffiti Girl pictures, and I’ve started a flickr group for you to upload shots of your babies in front of graffiti in your own towns, if you are so inclined.”

Since we live in Los Angeles, we come across cool graffiti art all the time. This is a unique way to use your surroundings as a colorful backdrop. And believe me, it’s definitely pretty colorful around here at times, that’s for sure. I take for granted to cool urban-scape that surrounds me every day.

Thanks, Rookie Moms, for the tip!

It does make a cool background, as long as you watch out what words (mainly 4-letter type) are painted on the walls!


I was actually surprised that they were able to get such fun, and clean graffiti. Most of these paintings are real pieces of art.

El Monte graffiti lacks an artistic flare, but the further west we go, the more interesting our tagging becomes.


love it its insane
