Be Good

An old stone wall with a weathered sign that reads 'Commune No Nuisance'.
London

It goes without saying?

X Marks the Spot

A concrete wall with vertical white lines and an 'X' mark on the lower section, set against a textured pavement.
96th St and First Avenue, New York

Handball courts down by the FDR Drive where my friends and I used to play until being crowded out by far superior players (challengers would play the winner of our matches until we were entirely displaced).

Tree and Wall

A barren tree with a single branch is positioned against a modern stone building.
West 52nd Street, New York

Tried to make this Rockefeller Center building the canvas for a tree portrait.

Wall Art

A textured wall painted in various shades of blue and green, featuring horizontal stripes in different colors.
95th St and First Avenue, New York

The wall bordering a gas (petrol) station on 96th Street at First Avenue. It really does look like an artist’s work, though I’m sure it was just meant to cover graffiti. Here’s another view of the same wall in black & white:

Black and white image of a textured wall with sections of different gray and white paint, along with visible paint drips.

More Sunlight

Continuing with another image of sunlight falling and dispersing on the wall, for a series I’ve been building over the last several years.

2026 Warning

A vibrant street scene featuring a wall covered in graffiti. The wall has a mix of colorful tags and art, including a large red element. There is an open doorway with blue doors on the left and a warning sign attached to a nearby wall.
Haddington Close, Hove

Some more candidates for my collection of liminal spaces.

The Point of Donations

A brick wall covered in various graffiti, with a sign for 'GuildCare Charity Shop and Donation Point' at the top. A person in a yellow coat and green pants is walking along a pathway in front of the wall.

What YSL stands for?

101st St and First Avenue, New York

‘Jesus’ is Latin for the Hebrew ‘Yeshua.’
I can only guess Jews for Jesus are active in the unlikely terrain of East Harlem.
