“The delights a stroll around Dublin can bring you. I’ve always carried my camera around with me, but have only recently started to take it out and not give a shite that I look like a tourist.”
If you like graffiti, and well, taking pictures of graffiti like us, there are some hidden gems around Dublin. The Tivoli Carpark is one that we generally return to, as the annual Jam there always provides… Below is another, the lane behind the Bernard Shaw, Richmond Street. I’ve only put up nine snaps, I could have taken a hell of a lot more but this post would have been very long if I did… I’ll have another photo piece in a couple of days from another spot just around the corner that’s worth checking out.

Fabulous stuff and well worth preserving digitally.
Being taken for a tourist can be an advantage. People expect tourists to take photos, so you actually become quite inconspicuous.
On the other hand, even as a tourist, it might be important not to dally too long.

Nice one. Kevin from the Icon Factory has a Facebook page called Dublin Urban Art. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Dublin-Urban-Art/286941637998294
Nice to see some appreciation for Irish graffiti as always. Please try and avoid the title ‘Writings on the wall’ in future though, it has been the title of every newspaper article and blog post about Irish graffiti ever (possibly a slight exaggeration, but only slight).
very good graffiti on coke lane in smithfield beside frank ryans bar
The back of Ryans is in this collection http://photos3.pix.ie/1B/D9/1BD9DBB54C244E50A759785DEC659853-0000342737-0003062887-00160L-00000000000000000000000000000000.jpg
