i tagged banksy

Max and I grabbed my favorite model and we drove around New Orleans seeking out the wonderful works Banksy left behind. I wanted a chance to tag his graffiti photographically...before the gray ghost gets to it 

One of the first works we found, a marching band, had already been painted over with gray paint by the building owner. I couldn't help but feel the sentiment of art being silenced.

Following is the result of our scavenger hunt...

The Road Home

I dont know if Banksy did the Venus De Milo, but the artwork was facing this small memorial.

The day grew dark and our shoot ended after we chanced upon Abraham Lincoln.

"America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."- Abraham Lincoln

"Allow the president to invade a neighboring nation, whenever he shall deem it necessary to repel an invasion, and you allow him to do so whenever he may choose to say he deems it necessary for such a purpose - and you allow him to make war at pleasure. "- Abraham Lincoln
