Greed

The much maligned Irving conglomerate has been subject to a campaign by some anonymous person or persons who are putting stickers around town with alterations to the old design of the Irving Oil logo. I'm not sold on the message the stickers, which read Greed, Power and possibly other things, I think they are a part of an interesting urban landscape. If Irving Oil was into guerrilla marketing they might want to put out alterations of their current logo in sticker form reading such things as Employment and Opportunity.

King Street


This is a really cool grey scale painting that was at the rear of a building on King Street when I took this shot a few years back. I'll have to check if its still there.

Mispec Bridge


This graffiti has always caught my eye. I took this a few years ago. The painting is under the Mispec bridge in the east of Saint John.

Graffiti

I started and abandoned a project a few years back to photograph graffiti in and around the city. I ws at Fort Defferin and was impressed with some of the painting on the remnants of the structures and thought I'd give it another try. Here are two photos I took around Fort Dufferin. The first is a pretty cool painting, and the second is neat in its context - it works as directions to Partidge Island.
