Train Graffiti- Digital Images

For my film photography elective we had to choose a theme of our own and take film negatives and then process them our selfs in the darkrooms onto photographs light sensitive paper. For my project i decided to choose the theme of "Train Graffiti". There is an old train station near my house which is used for delivering coal and other minerals all over Western Australia and it is a great hang out spot for young graffiti artist to practise out their work. The owners of the station have also encouraged the graffiti of their train carriages with them selecting well graffiti train carriages to be placed together as a "public graffiti artwork" which the public can see. I decided that although I love black and white photograph that I would also do some digital images as well which i am really happy with. The digital images allows for the bright colours of the spray paint to be shown which adds something extra to the photographs. Below is only my Digital images as my film ones I will post into another blog seeing as i believe both the digital and film photographs both require to be seen separate as they both say and express different ideas and emotions.
