We all see it as we move through our cities - graffiti - spray painted, scrawled, scratched into the surfaces we live with every day. Halifax is no different, except that the targets of the graffiti seems to be objects (mailboxes, power transformers) rather than walls and buildings. Most of the graffiti seen in Halifax are "tags".
According to the Wikipedia a "A 'tag' is the most basic writing of an artist's name in either spray paint or marker. 'Tagging' is often the example given when opponents of graffiti refer to vandalism, as the artistic form is lacking and style of penmanship is highlighted more."
This Blog will document my (our) exploration of Tags and Tagging around Halifax, using photos, linking to Flickr sets and Mapping software.
