"Earl Street Dog" by sabine

"Earl Street Dog"

71 / 365
A different kind of graffiti :). It brings a smile to my face every time I walk past it. While I was taking the photo this huge bloke walks up to me and offered to go and lay in the gutter in front of the dog. To make it more 'Kings Cross - like", he said jokingly. I did not take him up on the offer but we had a good laugh about it. And here I was thinking that people will give me the evil eye when I take shots on the street :)).

What a great story Sabine and what an interesting shot. I thought it was a real dog when viewed small. I love the paint spattered window with the grilles above - gives the photo a real sense of grittiness!

This is a nice find! Great story, I'm still building up the courage to get into the streets!
posted May 14th, 2012  
I'm nr. 10 on the list ;) and was at first irritated by the red colour resembling blood.
@jdr4690 Actually I think I will never ever have the courage for street photography, at least if people are in viewing direction. That's too bad because street shots can be so wonderful and moving.

I too thought this was a real dog a first !! This is a great find and I love the red tones.

Also - isn't the street photography theme for this week "four legged things" or something similar.....thought about entering it?
