Traintings
paintings on trains
Whenever I get caught at a railroad crossing waiting for a train to go by, instead of being impatient, I sit back and relax, enjoying what I consider a rolling art gallery. These images are fleeting; I capture details of this transient art when I am lucky enough to catch a train standing still, for when the train pulls out, the art is gone. Frequently the graffiti is oversprayed and the layers of paint are unexpectedly sublime.
"Some people are enraged, and some are applauding.
If there were a mission statement for graffiti, that would be it.”
