So I searched for some reference to tagging here and on Frank's  blog...
cant find it.  Scratching head...

Explain please... the only thing I could think of is people are now calling graffiti "tags"

Of course I don't really understand what tags are on the internet either lol

From urbandictionary.com:

"Much like, but not to be confused with graffiti. Tagging is signing your name or other representation of yourself on anywhere public. (walls, bus-stops, alleyways, paved streets, etc.)

Unlike graffiti, tagging usually takes less time and skill as it is done in one color with a single can of spray paint or thick marker."

I agree it's a nice picture, though!  Very rich tones.

thanks for the detailed definition... however it is kind of "New Speak" to those of us who have lived in the urban environment surrounded by graffiti - which would include "graffiti art" and what you call (or "they" call) tagging.

Noting, too, that given Frank's black and white photo either definition could apply :)
