A street photography shot taken in East London 2007. I went back there recently and this image has been completely painted over. I’m glad I was able to capture what was a brief yet beautiful scene that has now gone forever

    STREET ART IS NOT A CRIME!!! it’s a gift to the people, such a shame it got removed…all the money they waste getting such works of art removed. the government needs to get their priorities right for god’s sake!

    I love the angle, which tells us so much more than the image on the wall, and gives a hint as to why it was painted there and who by.

    It’s a shame they’ve painted over such a great piece of art work with some boring, flat colour. Awesome capture!
