Some art along Lexington Ave in Harlem
I haven't been put taking photos for over a month, which is driving me kind of crazy, but it is the sensible thing for me to do for the moment, but luckily back when I was out taking photos and walking I used to be out often and take a ton of photos so I have plenty in archives to look through, and that's why I am doing today I was looking through my archives and found some shots I took on a walk from the 125th Street Harlem Metro-North Station up to 42nd Street one morning last year.
I did not some cool art on that walk and that's what I will share today starting with this mural on the side of this building at 104th Street

A little bit about Pedro
Pedro Pietri (March 21, 1944 – March 3, 2004) was a Nuyorican poet and playwright and one of the co-founders of the Nuyorican Movement. He was considered by some as the poet laureate of the Nuyorican Movement.
Pietri was born in Ponce, Puerto Rico, however his family moved to New York City in 1947, when he was only three years old. They settled in the west side (Manhattanville) section of Manhattan where he and his siblings received their primary and secondary education. Pedro was greatly influenced by his aunt, who often recited poetry and on occasions put on theatrical plays in the First Spanish Methodist church in El Barrio. Pietri himself started to write poems as a student at Haaren High School. After graduating from high school, Pietri worked in a variety of jobs until he was drafted into the Army and sent to fight in the Vietnam War. The experiences that he faced in the Army and Vietnam, plus the discrimination that he witnessed while growing up in New York, were to become the main factors that would forge his personality and style of poetry.
a Couple of more pieces of art I saw on that walk, I am not sure who Tony Lopez was, I did some searching but could not find anything.
