Just a couple of extra flicks April-May 2010

I got some great pics from the Rosemont area. First I thought I would drop some pics I took of the Lionel-Groulx and Vendome metro areas as well as St Henri this past week. Lots of stuff out there. I took a walk from the Atwater area and made my way to the TA Wall but there was a bunch of construction workers doing their thing blocking the entrance way. So I decided to walk to St Henri metro and catch some flicks along the way.
I'd also like to give a shout out to those who have linked up some of my photos to 12ozprophet.com. I appreciate the interest in the photos and the credit. For those of you who live under a rock and don't know about 12 Oz. Prophet then check them out. They've been holding it down for a while now and they got the digs on news, crews, forums for writers, and just about everything else in the graff world.

For now enjoy these shots. I got those pics from Rosemont coming soon.
And this one is from the Lachine overpass near 1st ave on the 20. I missed a blockbuster by Durs, Oben, and another I can't remember right now not too long ago. It was buffed over but Capitaine Crew came along and dropped another. Considering the Habs fever in town right now I hope to see this one stay up till we bring the cup home! Go Habs Go!
I'll be posting Rosemont pics soon. Some great shots and graff to post yet!
Till next.

TA Wall & Factory April 2010

Stopped by the TA Wall and Factory to catch up on the recent activity last week and was glad to see the wall coming back to life again. Paint from end-to-end. Some big monster pieces by Scan, Stare, and Wies, including plenty of burners from some local writers. Lots of cross outs too. Guess things are a little heated between a few folks. Overall lots of nice stuff going on at TA. I was able to get pan shots of both walls from end to end but again I have to break them into a few pieces in order to upload them. I was also able to get shots of the small wall just off the tracks above the TA Wall finally. I've been meaning to get pics of it for a while now and the afternoon light made for some good shots.
There was also a fire in the factory at some point recently as a good portion of the back area was burnt crisp. One of the rooms was matted with black soot from floor to ceiling that a couple of chaps thought would make for a good primer so they tagged it up. There was evidence of other fire pits, which I normally find, but nothing else that seemed to have gotten out of control.
Another oddity was this mass of cans all around a doorway about halfway through the second floor. Someone had collected a tonne of cans and had piled them around the doorway. Some were stacked nicely but the majority were just piled around. Perhaps they had been neatly stacked at one point but had since fallen or were disturbed by another passing through.
In any case, enjoy these shots. Once the weather starts making sense again I'll be hitting the streets and a few new spots.
