    I can make out the MVS, but the rest? Looks like alpha characters from that store in Brighton Beach! ;-)

    MVS is the only legible etching in this photo. I had other photos of our other etchings but they didn’t turn out as well.

    was that a play on words? the mark part? also, does this count as street writing? probably not, huh.

    ha. it could be a play on words, i guess. .

    this doesnt qualify as street writing.. i try to only take photos for that project of writing that is nonpermanent and done in some sort of ink or paint.
