I found these photos to be a breath of fresh air; no lie, every single photo he has taken of his pothole gardens are spectacular in every sense. This guy, Steve Wheen, doesn't claim to be the first pothole gardener or guerrilla gardener at that, but to me, he has some of the best pieces I have seen.
He creates these great detailed works in spaces which seem to be very unlikely places they would sprout up and grow. Steve Wheen also includes a link to his other website which has all his professional works with producing and other media. He is very interesting.
All photos were taken from: http://thepotholegardener.com/
His other website: http://stevewheen.com/
Jesus, I find these to be a breath of fresh air as well! Great find, and what great images to share on your blog. You give a nice summary and comment, and we understand your personal connection to this work.
ReplyDeleteSteve Wheen definitely deserves naming and credit, which you've done nicely here. I would suggest a rephrase in the beginning: "every single photo Steve Wheen has taken of his pothole gardens are spectacular..." That way, you don't have the awkward "This guy" in the next sentence. From then on, you can refer to him by his last name only (as we would do in newspaper/magazine writing). GREAT post!
