Banksy came to new orleans and left his pieces all over town. I decided to photographically tag as many of his works as I could possibly find...before they get painted over by the "gray ghost". We ran out of light when stumbling upon Abe. I think the flash at night worked out more dramatic though. I still have a few more pieces to find. But first, I have to find the time.

Love Banksy. I've been photographing a good deal of grafitti and saw Banksy's rat in Soho but didn't snap a shot. Williamsburg, Brooklyn has been a hotbed for all sort of styles these days and I've caught a few nice shots, like this one but want to go out a grab more before they disappear. This may be one of his but I'm going to stay on the look out for more, as they make for a nice theme.
I thought this might be your photo as it is similar to your "Bummer!" entry. The message is ambiguous but that's more than okay. I like the melodramatic lighting, and I admire the effort that went into this shot -- your model really appears to be hanging by the neck.
Btw, thanks for introducing me to the work of Bansky -- what a cool artist.
OOh! I think I might've seen a few others like this before the free study, I can't put my finger on who you are, but I know I was looking at your profile earlier this week! Very neat message, the b&w works perfectly.
