The city is falling down about us almost as we speak!!We have endured two major aftershocks a week ago resulting in ~150 more buildings in the CBD being condemned to demolition. There's not a lot left to speak of.
I loathe tagging, but am quite amenable to good graffiti. Some of it is quite clever - if only the artists could be channeled most of the time.
With many graffiti walls disappearing in the demolition dust and an article in last Saturday's Press, together with aerial photograph, stating that my favourite graffiti area (the old Addington Sale Yards) be also demolished to make room for cafes displaced from the central city, I set my 'Coffeeshot Girls' the challenge of photographing some of the city's graffiti - before coffee of course! I met up with them half way through their assignment. These crumbling walls are not for the fainthearted with the frequent aftershocks in recent days, but we survived - and some are heading back there before we have 'show and tell' this Friday.
