Digital 'Antigraffiti' Peels Away the Years

Digital 'Antigraffiti' Peels Away the Years - New York Times- Cassidy Curtis's Graffiti Archeology has been profiled in the New York Times. Cassidy is a wonderful person who did an amazing amount of work on the subject and created an interesting view of graffiti in San Francisco and Los Angeles (mainly). What the article doesn't tell you about is the years it took him to collect the photographs, to learn about graffiti, to earn the trust of the artists that would allow him to photograph brand new works or take pictures of them at work (a very rare thing indeed). Cassidy is simple and humble and he creates beautiful things.
