I haven't been shooting grafitti/crime art much for over a year unless its on a rare freight car that I want to photograph anyway, but sometimes a monster shows up like this one and I'll take the picture. Any thoughts on me taking pictures of graffiti? Should I post them or not? I've heard from both camps. Does posting graffiti/crime art pictures encourage the illegal act of painting these cars or doesn't it make any difference if they are posted?
