The #ShittyCameraChallenge and the glitchy Vivitar 'Vivicam': Revisiting the works of Dalaiama, 20 August 2023

One afternoon, I took a walk with the glitchy Vivitar 'Vivicam'. I headed toward the Praia das Bicas, but took a turn to the EDP electricity sub-station. This one is quite special to me as it has been painted by the street artist Dalaiama. Dalaiama is a stencil-based street artist from Cascais, and around Meco there are numerous examples of his work.

During my exploration, I was saddened to discover that one of Dalaiama's stencils had been painted over by some other tagger. By this time, too, the glitchy Vivitar 'Vivicam' had started misbehaving and I had to photograph the destruction of the artwork with the smartphone. 

I also came across a 'new' stencil by Dalaiama on a junction box near the campsite. I assume that this was painted during Dalaiama's visit to Meco in 2011, but I had never seen it before, even though I have walked past this box many times over the years.
