This photo diary captures urban street signage and how people alter it. In most cases, these alterations are simply intended as art and do not impact the effectiveness of the sign to do its primary job – provide information to the public. I believe this to be primarily, if not exclusively, an urban activity. Where a rural example might include a well-placed shotgun blast, these urban demonstrations are attempts at art – through humor, political statement or simply as a way to integrate a public necessity into the community.
