I agree with the quote (at least partly).
But I have a question, if that's a blackboard, why didn't anybody write on it?

Actually, it's not a blackboard. It's called a tack board that railroad crews staple way bills to. This one has been recently refinished and painted.

John M. Mora:
The philosophical thought in some graffiti never ceases to amaze me.

It's always been an idea of mine to connect graffiti artists with railroad companies. Subcontracting artist teams to paint entire cars could go a long way toward improving the art form while benefiting both parties.

I've been photographing graffiti for many years and, despite the destructiveness and legal issues, find a lot of it beautiful in many ways.

one of my favorite quotes and the image is also of one of my favorites-- walls with graffiti - certainly apt today.
