Street art drew me into guiding long before the older buildings did, and I still spend my free mornings walking the same few streets looking for anything new painted overnight. On camera I hold steady on a single mural rather than sweeping past several quickly, since one piece looked at properly says more than a dozen glimpsed in passing. I plan sessions around daylight rather than a fixed hour, since flat grey skies actually suit painted walls better than bright sun does. Regulars ask me to track how a particular wall changes over the months, which I am always glad to do.
