3 years i have been roaming the streets of Marseille, a unique city by all means, and taking photographs or the life of the city, its people and its art. I ended up with 800 pictures of graffiti and other wall drawings which i recently published as a book, digital book. Marseille, was once described as a city Tattooed with graffiti and 20 km from the city you can already see what expecting you.
The graffiti in Marseille is one of the most dynamic issues, its like a mouse and cat game, works comes and goes and the creations are fantastic. so for 2 years i collected 800 pictures of these most amazing talents. Unlike other places in the world in Marseilles graffiti became also a business and i gathered 500 store fronts decorated with graffiti style drawings.
I assume that being a relatively poor city, this becomes a very good and cheap option to decorate a store, not to mention far more eye catching. When i went on to publish it i realized that in the book stores the price of a printed book may be too expensive therefore i decided to publish it as an ebook (for windows pcs only) The book is doing what it supposed to do, it attracts people to visit this wonderful city and not only to sit down the Vieux Port and have a coffee but also to run around the less known part of it.
