I agree the title of this post is kinda weird because a good photographer can see the beauty in almost anything and everything.

I am looking for a place where there is lot of graffiti art. Kinda of hipster punk kind of place.

At present I am just doing photography in my back yard:

Any ideas?

The graffiti in Houston is usually of poor quality, like a simple obscene word done in black marker. I've yet to see any place that has a good amount of interesting stuff.

There's a second-hand store at the corner of Dumble and Oakland Streets in Eastwood with constantly-changing graffiti paintings on its side wall -- colorful, well-designed -- definitely works of art. They should be documented as ephemera since the artist leaves them up for a short time and then paints over them with something entirely new.
