Graffiti Archaeology


Of the many sites I've seen devoted to Graffiti, this one stands in a league by itself. The author has collected photos of graffiti from specific sites, on specific dates and stitched them into panoramas that can be peeled back or replaced over time. The result is a beautiful website, that allows one to see the evolution of various sites in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and of course New York over time.

It's a pity the software isn't made available - even though it would likely require a high bandwidth server to set up on a website - it is simply an amazing way to document a site over time - truly Graffiti Archaeology.
