A well-respected documentarian, photographer Martha Cooper has captured many a subculture in a time when few would actively explore the landscapes which included both graffiti and hip-hop. In her most recent project which began six years ago, her fascination with the use of postal/courier stickers as a form of communication has led to her latest publication, “Going Postal”. The book includes works predominately seen in New York and Philadelphia but also features other samples from Baltimore, San Francisco, Berlin, Tokyo and Amsterdam. The book published by Mark Batty will be available through their site with a retail price of $9.95 USD.

    There used to be a graffiti site with the same name, but it fell off.
