buycyles

I've been intrigued by the use of bicycles as advertising since before I was interested in riding a bike. A development on this front today.

Interestingly enough, after I've decided to give in to my interest in making photos from a bike, today I found out about flickr's bike photo advertising campaign. [story here]. Obviously, the bike is gaining major currency in the greenwashed, washed out economy and it won't be too long before the largest advertising campaigns start exploiting bikes.

Hello,

I didn't know how else to reach you, but I found a photo of yours on Flickr (a photo of a tag of the graffiti artist KRAE) and I wanted to ask permission to use it in the newspaper for which I work - the Queens Chronicle. I am just writing a story about how KRAE was labeled a "graffiti tourist" and you seem to be one of the few who has actually photographed his work.

Please let me know if you give your permission to publish the photo. My e-mail address is below.

Thanks,
Lee Landor
