This will be "crossed" with the Covent Garden picture I took here.

PX No.556 (1st collage), a photo by LANCEPHOTO on Flickr.
picturecrossing No.556 (EE No.57) This was a long exposure that got a bit blurry. It showed an image of an abandoned factory in Nimy, Belgium that's been covered in graffiti. - I'd been drawing on my Polaroids for quite a while but this was the first time I applied collage elements to them. I'm quite pleased with the result. - You can see more of my actual collage work at www.rayjohnsonfanclub.com

LEFT: picturecrossing No.558 was left in London on 5/18/2012 on a wall in the Barbican Center gallery where they were holding a Bauhaus exhibition. The museum guards were everywhere and had already told me a few times to put my camera away but I had to get my documenting shot. I placed the picture on an empty wall just over a bench. Most people who passed it actually stopped to look at it as though it were part of the exhibition, including one of the museum guards! This older couple looked at it for a while before taking a seat on the bench. That's when I snapped my shot from across the room... Gotcha! (see below)
