Amazing photos! I am going to be in san diego for a photo assignment next week, and street art is one of my obsessions! I live in chicago, the land of buffing all art the day it goes up, so I thrive on the hunt before the buff gods get them or they get tagged. do you have any location suggestions for me to check out? maybe some walls people hit up a lot ?? or maybe even a part of town that gets hit up a lot?? any help would be totally badass and much appreciated. if you want to PM me, my email is mollykolecki@yahoo.com. much love!
