I had posted these in a photography forum as well and only got one negative to the concept of graffiti as art.
Many urban areas here in NJ, in Philly and other cities, this artform is becoming a legitimate way to enhance otherwise dreary areas. While there will always be some idjit with a black spraycan that just scribbles a name or profanity, I see more and more acceptance of graffiti as "art".
After all, even the cave drawings found in France are graffiti, even if they have historical significance.
Every time I see a big black or ugly beige square painted on a wall, I wonder what kind of artwork is that ugly thing covering.
