So the city recently power-washed a 2000+ square hopscotch game some local kids had drawn on the street. In response, a bunch of people got together sunday night for a "chalk graffiti party", drawing hopscotch and art from downtown all the way to city hall. Of course, I was there to take pictures: The police officer in photos 17 and 19 demanded I stop taking photographs: that demand was ignored ;) The Ottawa Citizen . It's funny to read about it from their perspective: "A mystery street artist left a message for politicians and bureaucrats outside City Hall on Monday, drawing hopscotch courses on the sidewalk in support of some Glebe children who had their elaborate chalk-work wiped out by a city cleaning truck last week." |

and by the way, i hadn't really read your post when i posted either of those comments, i was too busy calling Valor out on what he is. It's great there's uproar over a 2000+ square ft hopscotch game being prevented. there have been many cases in the UK where kids just playing a normal game of hopscotch on the road have been not only prevented, but issued with ASBOs (anti-social behaviour order).. and yet there's really no public outcry. it's nice those in canada aren't as placid. |

thats awesome. congs to ottawa. 'no cabbage here' made me lol. what baffles me though, regarding your photos, is how you manage to take a picture of a bucket of coloured chalk, in black and white. your ability to use b&w where you absolutely positively shouldn't is fascinating. |

What a horrid mess, when I was a lad we would break windows and laugh at old ladies coming out of the hairdresser's. You all should be thrown in jail. |

generally, i only remove color when the color looks bad or breaks the mood. in this case, pale pastel colors under flash+orange street lighting looked pretty bad. |

nevermind. just checked all exifs. in case you're looking/saving up for an external flash, i'd definitely recommend this one: |

i had the flash strength dialed back a lot, but still seems a bit much in some shots. generally, i don't like using flash. don't shoot a lot of night pictures, either. that might change if i keep playing reporter, though. |
