As always for my contests, it's has been a difficult to decision to narrow it down to just two winners . Thanks so much to all of you for sending such fantastic photos depicting the vibrant street art & graffiti of Paris.
The first prize goes to Teresa Bury for her photo of graffiti that spells Paris on a side of a truck. I just love the colors and the bold shapes of the letters. (First photo above.)
The second prize goes to Susan Schweitzer for her photo from the Gare de l'Est station. She said that it's actually a poster that someone tore off layers of in a very artistic way. (Second photo above.)
Congratulations Bridget & Teresa and please email me your mailing addresses so I can send your copy of Trap.
Here are the runners-up.
Maurice Carillo
Laurence Waltman

Very interesting- am I the only one who sees "2012" within "Paris" in the winning photo?? Maybe it's just the cropping, but it seems pretty distinct!
Great batch of images.
