The Streets Sept 2010

Here are some random shots from the streets I took in Montreal from September 2010. I always got my camera on me while trekking from place to place in the city. There is always something new to flick whether I'm on the way to the gym after work or coming out of a party on St. Laurent somewhere.

I also had the chance to check that Bosny show at SubV on Friday the 4th. Again, it was a show with small pieces high up on the walls so not much for shots, but he's got some skills for portraits that for sure and he had a few color pieces up to. I'll post that along with my crazy shots from the Sohoe/Getso show that I ducked into for a minute later that night. That show had some seriously dope work up on the walls, and a lot of it. But the place was a 5 alarm fire of a party by the time I got there so it was a mega challenge to just make my way around to check the work and sneak some flicks. And it was hot as a motherfucker in there. I'll post all that in the next couple of days.

Check these shots for now, I got TA, Turcot and CBR posting this week.

 

Cote-St Paul: Sept 2010

Cote St Paul (CSP) is that dead zone stuffed in between Verdun and St. Henri tangled in the tentacles of the Turcot interchange. Mostly abandoned and desolate, save for a few businesses and storage areas, this drab stretch of industrial waste land is also a major cross roads to some long running spots like CBR and Stinky's. Recently it has also become the new home for an annual graffiti jam: Can You Rock? (formerly Meeting of Styles) that has a solid spot on Cabot Street. If you missed out on the last jam then you can check my posts here and there.

And the area is drenched in tags and throwies from end to end. You could spend enough time out of your day trekking around CSP and all it has to offer. I've been going through this area pretty regularly since 2003 and have always enjoyed the little sanctuaries that I find, especially CBR. Yeah, I know its a bombing spot with nothing really pretty in it on the usual but its got character and its one of the longest running spots for bombing around that I know of.

Here are my shots from Sept 2010, again forgive the late posting, I'm catching up. I'll have Stuff from TA, Turcot, and the streets up soon.

 Bosny show tonight at SubV and a Sohoe/Getso show. More soon so stay posted.
