Deutsch Kunst in der Punk-Rock-Bilder

So I started off by simply wanting to post a couple of images that I liked. Then I noticed a common thread amongst the images, and decided to suss out a few more images in order to put together a small collection of German art that has been appropriated by punk rock bands.

Type As Image

Over the past few weeks, I've been working on an assignment in my type class. Even though I thought that I had found a lot of success initially, I'm glad to have kept working on the project. Pushing my images further and further has proven fruitful.

The last few I've created are ones that I'm really pleased with.

On my way home the other day, I spotted this truck. Since I happened to have my camera with me for the first time in a while, I jumped out of the car and started snapping away. It's been a couple months since I got the opportunity to get some reasonably good shots of some really good graffiti —now I know what I'll be doing on my spring break.

I've got over 1000 more graffiti photos on my Flickr page.

The Photos of Walter Yetman

I've known Walter for a while now... probably about 5 or 6 years at least. He's one of those guys that you always see snapping pictures at shows. So what makes him different from the legions of other so called photographers out there? Oh yeah, he actually posts his work to share with the rest of the world.

How many times have you been at an amazing show, watching flashes pop left and right, only to to never see a single image of that show ever posted anywhere? He also does a good job keeping up with Bay Area graffiti, and has some interviews with writers on his blog. Follow Walter's work online at the following urls:
