WATERFORD WALLS [AN ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL STREET ART FESTIVAL]-132259 by William Murphy Via Flickr: The street art festival was the reason for my visit to Waterford this week. There was a lot to see and photograph making it difficult for me to describe the locations or the artists so if you want more information I suggest that you visit waterfordwalls.ie/ In general the local population appeared to be very excite about this year’s festival which is good. For some strange some people, when the see me photographing something, assume that I support or approve of or that I am in someway responsible for what I am photographing. For example if I photograph a poster relating to a pro-life meeting then I am attacked for being a pro-life supporter [a few years ago I was physically assaulted]. During my recent visit to Waterford a gentleman placed his hand on my lens and accused me of supporting anti-social behaviour by photographing examples of streetart [actually he uses words that I cannot publish here]. At the time I did not realise that he badly marked the wide-angle lens that I was using at the time. When I reviewed my photographs on my return to the hotel I discovered that many photographs were unusable because of large greasy streaks on my 15mm lens and it took hours to fully clean it.
