Maybe a Banksy

This is a rework of a photograph uploaded onto Caedes over a year ago now. It received some good comments, & I can remember Jhihmoac / Ron saying Banksy, or not the graffiti spray stencil was replicated from the film Falling down.

Anyway I've decided to rework it because the sun, & shadows were too extreme on the original upload. Unfortunately there was no point rephotographing it as the existing graffiti artwork is in quite a state now.

Not only does it look like Michael Douglas it also looks like he could work for the "Geek Squad" as well Phlossie. I do not remember the original, but then I don't remember a lot of things. Good shot of your English Graffiti.

Thank you EJ I'm pleased you remember the original upload, & prefer the rework.
Tick should note I doubt you saw my original post as you didn't begin to comment on my work till much later. I'm pleased to read you too can identify the artwork just as Jhihmoac / Ron did originally. :o)

Some opportunist websites are selling Banksy work without the owners consent, or paying royalty fees. People should note I'm having a little trouble with photobucket. So whenever a new jpg of mine is uploaded onto the www for the first time it always goes to photobucket FIRST in low def. So therefore I've deliberately marked this Caedes hi def upload with my name to discourage pirates. :o)

This is a pretty cool photo of graffiti, it always amazes me that people feel compelled to do that.

Falling Down is one of my all time favorites. Michael Douglas was fantastic in that movie. I love the part when he meets up with some golfers on the course...I crack up every time I see that part. Nice picture, Phil. Should be in an Urban photography contest.

quality shot as ever-how such a piece of artwork could be passed by without arousing a strong response is unfathomable.maybe i'm talking nonsense yet phil has in my view been moved by this image as i am.we are local friends and both appreciate the artist's work.well done phil for promoting a worthy cause.
