Photos: American Walls
Sitting in a traffic jam, at the same place every morning, doesn’t bother me. Because somewhere nearby there will be a wall with a brick or a crack or a spot that I have yet to stare at.
Do bear in mind that I am somebody who enjoys watching paint dry. I appreciate that you don’t, really don’t, and you’re not just saying that. Well I really do, and I’m not just saying that.
And when the paint is dry I can happily keep on looking for hours. Or if there never was any paint in the first place.
Anyway from my photos of Dublin Walls and of Kansas City walls, you already knew I liked walls, so here are some more.
These are just a small selection of walls I’ve photographed in different parts of America, and if they don’t enthrall you, perhaps the posts I’m going to do on walls of other countries may be more your cup of tea. Every one of these walls I have seen from the saddle of my bicycle.
From a painting perspective, my love of walls and buildings tends to manifest itself mostly in abstract compositions.

Ah, my home town!
Where was the shot in Philly taken, Eolai?
There are some lovely murals there.
Also love the NYC shot.
Congratulations buddy, you’re short-listed!
Drying paint, eh? Uh-huh…nope, nope I don’t get that at all. Great shots though. I like that red brick one.
