This challenge, your 48th, goes out to all the urban mamas who need a scavenger hunt for the day.
Take a picture of your baby in front of graffiti – as explained by Dutch, the dad who writes on Sweet Juniper. He has an awesome set of Flickr photos that inspired us to do this. We set out to find the best graffiti in Berkeley and packed up the boys and our cameras. Sometimes the best street art is at the railroad tracks or near the highways, so bring a grown-up friend to turn the assignment into a fun adventure.
Please share your attempts here in our comments or on the Rookie Moms Facebook page. If you have any tips on getting your kid to stay put while you take the pictures, let’s hear them.
Too cold outside? Your baby too young? Choose another challenge.
Grafitti is a great form of art to enjoy anywhere…. At least I like it. Fun idea to photograph it, kid or not…
Cheers.
Here are the fruits of my labor:

Ooooh, I love Sweet Juniper! He’s a fantastic photographer and writer!
Great idea, SF Mission is also full of awesome murals and graffiti. I’ve been meaning to do a little graffiti outing one of these days, too :0)
I secretly have always wanted to be able to do graffiti! I think it can be beautiful. But obviously it is not legal. Here’s a video one of my classmates made with sweet graffiti: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZKmkvvQUUI&feature=related
Also, I am obviously a student and I am trying to gather some research with a survey geared at mothers and was wondering if any of you would be interested in taking my quick survey: https://byu.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_0CVM7NKfgZbEhSY
I would really appreciate your help! thanks and best of luck with motherhood and blogging.
