Background info: This photo, along with many others are documented in his book Urban Art Photography that shows interesting and high-quality impressions from the streets in Berlin on about 200 pages.
Connection: This photo connects to the them on the show because it captures the urban look in the city and the words "true love" in graffiti are beautiful and loud while capturing your attention. I chose this image because it is simple but interesting.
