This is art, but when does it become art?
Obviously, just like with any photograph, there is a story. Kids tagged a standpipe.
Some would argue the pipes themselves are work of art, there are many different types and shapes, topologies, topographies and typographies. My thesaurus just overheated. Aquamarine screen of death.
Stolen, perhaps artfully, caps replaced by vangoghish orange earplates.
Dutifully tagged.
Then I took a picture of it. Processed the eff out of it.
Uploaded.
At what point does this become art?
