Last year I was fortunate to set off on a journey around the world. I had this entire inventory of cities scribbled down which I longed to see… Cites listed mainly because of what defined them: Agra for the Taj Mahal. Siem Reap for Angkor Wat. The southern part of Australia for the Great Ocean Road. But from each of these places what I left with was much more than what they’re known for. Through long walks, I discovered the unique breathing “bodies” which surround the hearts of their defined histories-through-monuments. Some of my most treasured photos were not of the ultimate destination, but of the art found throughout the journey. Here are a few images which enhanced how I defined the cities I visited…

Buenos Aires, Argentina

Agra, India

Adelaide, South Australia

Next time you are traveling – or just walking around your own city, open your eyes to the unexpected art… whether it’s a faded painted wall sign or a stencil in an array of colors.
