Show Some Respect Son! CBR Sept 2010

CBR is an old spot. It's been around way longer than I've been looking at graffiti that's for sure, going back to the 90's. I always enjoy stopping off to grab a few shots when I'm in the area and to see who's been around. The ambient glare from the canal water that it runs along lends some great lighting and the constant drum of vehicle tires above give this spot a sort of heartbeat. Scattered remains of aerosol cans, rollers, used gloves, and paint pans dot the muddy landscape in makeshift piles. It doesn't really smell nice, not as bad as some places, but still a little funky. Dirty and messy, CBR is still one of the longest running spots around. I took a couple of passes throughout September and got a few good flicks. As always, lots of cross outs and messy stuff.

The Streets Aug 2010

Just a few shots from last August. I'm working on September through November and will be dropping those posts this coming week. Lots of nice stuff that I can't wait to post. Enjoy these for now.

More soon, keep posted.

Rosemont May 2010

So I took that trip over to Rosemont metro a couple weeks back and did some trekking around the area and then along the tracks. I had not been to this area in quite sometime, definitely over a year, and it looks like pretty much the same areas are being hit along the tracks at least. saw some pretty nice stuff, some old stuff, and some interesting work by a good number of writers and artists out there.
I got a lot of pan shots of some of the long running walls in the area too and I think some of them came out pretty nice. There's a lot more on the streets that I wasn't able to get but I'll be going back in the near future to catch all of that too. Until then enjoy what I was able to snap with my glass and check back for more from the TA Wall and Factory that I shot last week. And head's up to those who like to frequent that area: it's under construction by the city -more patch work and maintenance of the existing structure of the Ville-Marie Expressway -but its loaded with construction crews and security that'll bust anyone painting the area if they can catch you. And police are cruising about the area more frequently too I think. So be extra aware and pay attention if your in the area.

As always I wasn't able to label everyone in this post, I am limited to 20 a post apparently so I've tagged whoever I could. All in all I have to say that there was some pretty nice and interesting stuff out there. I've got a TA Wall & Factory update to post this week too so keep in touch. And thanks to those who have posted comments, I appreciate your interest and remarks.
Till next.
