When in Greece


Recently I took a school trip to Greece with my camera. Throughout the week I captured the landscape and urban life of Greece. 

As we flew, the land beneath us was beautiful



Right out of the airport, it was clear how the Greek economy relied on tourism




The city of Athens was littered with graffiti and signs made of both the Greek and Latin alphabet








Walking through the city people and dogs where everywhere
There were many museums and tourist locations in the city








But the most beautiful and awe aspiring sight was the landscape and everyday life

Graffiti  Street Art or Vandalism? While driving around Chicago, it is not hard to find murals on the walls of buildings and bridges. Many are beautiful and took a lot of time to create. They serve as a way to give some color to a neighborhood. While driving past some of my favorite murals, the Hubbard Street Murals, I began to notice the tagging and defacement on the walls.            Some have even been painted over to cover up graffiti. Another Mural in Hyde Park was also defaced. Many people think of this kind of this when they hear about grafitii artists. They see the sketchy allys and industrial buildings.   But Graffiti can be beautiful and give color to communities just like the commissioned murals.          .  Going out and looking of Graffiti like that made me see the skill and beauty in everyday Graffiti.         Chicago has strict policy on graffiti and paints over
