This picture does not even need a caption, William. You can pretty much guess it's from the United States. Great documentary photograph.

Thank you Ron (It's just factual reality which is not always nice), Frank (yes, it is an American original though I doubt confined to America alone), and Danielle!

LOL to Frank above...why would you assume it's from the US? WOW! That word is pretty universal these days. Of course you live in the US so he's right but that picture might have well been taken JUST ABOUT ANYWHERE. Kinda makes me want to look up pictures from a zillion countries that have that word on walls. It wouldn't be very hard to come up with them, that's for sure. Anyway, whatever...detestable graffiti morons are WORLDWIDE, not just the U.S.

That being said, I love your processing for this picture and your composition too!

Becaue the word is in English, so more so than not the viewer would assume from America.

I believe that the present mental, linguistic and also physical depravity should not be further promoted and recognised in such cases…
I'm a bit disappointed that you offer these guys a platform here...

C'est désolant, mais n'est spécifique qu'au USA. ça peut arriver un peu partout dans le monde. Bonne semaine.

Weit verbreitet und es trifft wohl den Punkt.
Ebenso verbreitet wie "ACAB" oder auch "1312" in dem Fall.

Widespread anger, hopelessness, despair ... All this could be channelled through sincere love and appreciation, weakness could be transformed into inner strength. This is what the color of this great work says to me in relation to the graffiti lettering.

The word is universal and what it symbolizes is also universal!
It is the negation of the current dominant society
The color assumes on the one hand this discomfort but is a warning to the power of this social bomb

Superb, William!
