Graffiti quality mapping in New York City - Gothamist

Hilarious yet interesting info thanks to Jake: http://gothamist.com/2013/01/04/interactive_map_graffiti_complaints.php

In general, mapping graffiti walls can bring the buff along with the tourists, competitors and police, but in big cities like NYC where every inch is photographed, mapping mass photo data is perhaps less harmful, because lots of people know where it is already.

Think twice about geolocating your secret and chillest spots though. The person you get arrested might be yourself. Check your camera phone settings to make sure it's not recording location when you don't want it to.

How to remove metadata from image files

Why? Because metadata in your photos can contain the exact location the picture was taken in, your name, your camera's serial number, and all kinds of other stuff that doesn't need to be posted to the web.

Street Art app - local graffiti art discovery/sharing app for smartphones

http://streetARtapp.com/

Remember to use such apps carefully. There are many now, but this is an interesting new one.

You can destroy good places to paint and endanger artists by geolocating some walls or layups. Well-known halls of fame, very public spots, and murals are what this kind of app will be best for.

Don't photograph and upload images of illegal work you or your friend just did using phones, because you might be accidentally including identity, time, and place data that could incriminate you.
