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.

 

Rouen: Aug 2010

Well I guess I was a little busier than I thought in August! I took a day to wander in and about the Rouen area from Frontenac metro late that month. The legal wall, or tunnel rather, on Rouen was granted such status a couple of years back. Information on legal walls is not easily come by. You can find it at Rouen and Moreau from Prefontaine Metro, or if you're up for the 15 minute walk then get off at Frontenac. There are a few legal walls in and around Montreal that I know about, and probably a few more I don't. This legal area gets some good action though and is in a pretty high traffic spot so there is usually something new on the regular.

At the time I stopped by there were a few writers hitting up one side of the tunnel. The other had some nice stuff up by Scien, Klor, Zek, Shadow, and a few others.



There were some really nice productions and pieces up in and around the tunnel area a street off by Bacon, Scan, Zek, Stare, Smak, Sewk, Sage, Nixon and Axe.

Along the tracks above I came across another bridge and wall area with a bunch of stuff up, and a few sites along the way.

These bridge spots are always awesome. Cool shade from the sun when you've been trekking all day, the hum of overhead traffic, the occasional vagrant, and a place to sit your ass down to enjoy a good 'ol Pabst or two. Sanctuary. The bridge area was nice enough on the graffiti side of things but the side walls along the track line going back down towards Rouen were even better. Lots of nice stuff and the area really lent itself to some nice shots with the light. Enjoy these shots. I have some from this winter that will eventually be posted too.

September soon! Stay posted.
