Thanks people for the comments, inspiration and all that.

Some nice words for those interested:
"He objected that I had an open-door policy in my studio where anybody, toys and masters alike, come and hangout and look at photos. The toys used to come and they would spend hours copying the masters'work from my photo albums.
such copying was impossible when your only glimpse of a masterpiece might be on a passing train. In a way, our photos were the beginning of the end of the original graffiti culture, and now we are at the point where this art exists more fully in photos than in public spaces, for now the trains in New York are blank.
Gone is the writers' bench, the centre of so much social activity, critical review of burners, and sharing of artwork through exchange of blackbooks. Gone is the aura of mystery in wich writers used to work. Everything that was the core cultere changed when the mechanics of writing were exposed.
Sadly, Dondi is gone, too.
What survive are many beautiful paintings that hang on peoples wall and in museums, as well as photographs that document an extraordinary era and a vibrant culture of creative kids around the world who respond to the defiance and rebeliounesness of New York’s street culture and draw their inspiration of Dondi and his Contemporaries."
