Wish I could say I were that clever. I didn't even get it until Monna pointed it out to me. "Cartel", in Spanish, means poster. The wall just says "post no bills". We talk a lot about what gets lost in translation, but equally interesting is what gets added.
Context (above): The old town of Valencia, Spain is a broke-down palace of a place held together by layers of ancient posters. This wall, however, boldly declared its poster-independence. I liked the texture and the light.
Leave us a comment and let us know what you think. It's not that we mind commenting to each other, but we'd love to know what your observations are too!

My guess is Damien is sending us a political message...
