graffiti

i like the graffiti in buenos aires. it's everywhere.

at first i thought it made everything look worn down and ghetto. but on closer inspection, i've found it can actually be quite creative. i'll be walking down the street, see something interesting and stop to take a look. i often get asked by people, "what are you doing?" and when i take a picture, sometimes i get a subsequent, "are you sending that to your friend in china?" haha. i answer that i just like it, and that i think it's a forma de arte.

in general it captures this artistic, anti-whatever sentiment out here. as if it's a loud blatant, i-don't-care-what-important-building-you-are and to tell you that they spot an error in your mainstream, conformist ways.


yes, an error.

in other news, i'm picking up guitar again. i like my teacher--he seems like a real musician. i think this is the perfect place as any to finally get my guitar skills (and finger calluses) down.
