Thanks Bill.

I thought it was interesting that she looks like she is coming out of the background and it kinda made me of Bradbury's Illustrated Man.

Well done Allen! I agree about her merging out of the background. Reminds me of a very old "Twilight Zone" episode.....
Great tones and great eye!

Thanks Dan and I thought the tattoos and the palm tree on her shirt looked like they belonged there. Her earrings and all the circular shapes in the background seemed to go together. As well the strap on her purse. Anyway in my mind it worked. And on top of that I had a great conversation with a stranger that was celebrating her birthday.

Truth/reality is better than imagination, in this case. I know I would never have thought about a shot like this (might not even recognize it on the street as you have), and yet it truly resonates with all my graphic senses - it just works for me. And she does kind of emerge/jump off the sticker graphics in the background.

Great find!

Bill

Edit - And I think she is quite proud to be there. Do you know if she pasted all the graphics on the wall, or just happened to be there in some kind of supportive fashion?

THANKS Bill.

No its is just anyone that passes buy puts up a sticker or adds a graphic. It is constantly changing. She was from Orlando IIRC and they were in Key West. She was down there for her birthday. I was waiting by the wall for something to happen and she and a friend walked by and I said that I liked her tattoos and said so. I then asked if I could take her photograph by the wall and explained how I thought her ink and her shirt would work great with the background.

YES!!!! I thought that also! She does have a nice engaging smile that compliments all the graffiti!
Again well done Marine!
