I am a big fan of found art - in fact, our family makes weird little sculptures from bits and pieces of man-made and natural objects.
As a result, I find this photo series of juxtaposed and overlapping posters, stickers, graffiti and stencils from SoHo particularly evocative and appealing.

I also like the multiple authorship of these assemblages: whoever comes along last gets to frame and comment upon all that went before.
