Anyone else into taking photos of street art/graffiti?

Street art is one of my favourite photography subjects, anyone else into taking photos of this?

Always a bit of a challenge what with Auckland City Council being determined to paint over the stuff in the inner city within hours of it appearing, but have found some cool stuff wandering around recently.

Any location recommendations?

Oh guess seeing as this is a photo sharing forum predominantly I should share something taken recently, so this one was taken last week in Parnell.

There's a Street Art competition on http://www.nzphotographer.co.nz/ at the moment.

I love it too, but the 'more graffiti, less street art' type tags are quickly covered up in Wellington.

We only get lame tags down here, no art what so ever :(

Lames :( Tagging is so ugly too.

I can't get into that site at work so shall have to take a look when I get home.

This is another kinda cool one I stumbled across recently in Morningside, there's loads of cool stuff around that area actually, walked past when they were redoing a huge piece that I've shot before last weekend but didn't have my camera so need to do another expedition there.
