Exit Through the Gift Shop - A Banksy Film
Sunday, June 6, 2010
I've always been fascinated by street art and a good chunk of the photos I snap reflects that.
Had I known I'd been walking around in the thick of Banksy artwork not one week ago, I probably would have paid more attention. With two visits to London under my belt in the last year, I've thankfully ended up with some shots of his work over in Hackney in East London.

Last night, C and I hit the Mayan for Exit Through the Gift Shop, a documentary on the development and growth of street art around the world, as well as the outing of one participant who gained overnight success by ripping off the works of those artists he had been filming over the last 10+ years.
If it's in your city, please go see it. Wonderful film.

I'm from Denver, CO. I love to travel - both alone and with friends - explore new places and really learn the personality of a city. I own my own PR firm and offer support to creative professionals including authors, musicians and small business. My husband writes and performs live music (often for kids at local libraries in town), and we have a little boy who loves to travel as much as we do.
