Youth Centre Graffiti in Moss Side

Two photographs of Graffiti from Manchester’s Hulme / Moss Side area for you today. Both of these images were captured yesterday on a walk around the outskirts of Manchester. They were seen on the walls of the Procters Young Peoples Centre just off the Mancunion Way. I really liked the message they gave and after reading them it was hard to not pick up the camera and photograph them.

However, the reason not all of the graffiti has been included was it was an overcast day, and as such I choose to stick with my 50mm fixed lens. No zooming in or out meant I couldn’t include more, but fortunately I was able to get the majority of the text in the two pictures, giving you a message that is worth reading. Not all graffiti is a crime, some graffiti is important and it is art (especially in these two cases).
