Newman Street

This Banksy takes pride of place on a blank wall in Newman Street, where The Way We See It had taken me. I always find what other people see at any location fascinating - but nobody went for this striking image, although it raises issues close to any photographer's heart. It's difficult to make out, I'm afraid, but the police/security is taking a photo of the child graffiti artist.

Banksy's Latest

The latest Banksy has caused quite a media frenzy, as a result there seem to be a constant stream of people coming to see it. It's interesting to watch how people interact with it - some treat it as a god, some just look, some have fun. It's on the side wall of an independent shop - a chemist - and it's been covered with perspex to protect it. How times have changed.

I'd say the message of this image was clear. That is, unless you have an alternative agenda. I couldn't believe the spin put on the story here.
