Here I is again. Let me start off by saying I apologize, for the limited few who actually visit my blog lol, that it's been a while. I've been lazy and busy. Mostly, I just haven't thought of things to blog about. But I've been taking pictures, as I usually do, of different things that catch my eye and I've been brainstorming about things I want to blog about. Even if not many tune it, I like to document it even for myself.
One brainstorm idea, at which I hope to keep up with, is a series I will call "Graffiti I See". There's plenty in the area I live. For the most part it's not interesting. Little gangster wanna-bees taggin' all over town bout what they 'claim'. Stupid s#!t. But every once and a while I find something cool. Something worth photographing. Couple weeks ago, I was getting ready for school, as I usually do. Got on the freeway heading en route, as I usually do... and I saw some graffiti that caught my attention. It was way cool. I wasn't able to snap it at that moment because its' like 4 seconds onto the freeway. My plan was to catch it the next day, HOPING maintenance hadn't noticed it yet and covered it up. So next day I remembered about it and got my camera ready before hand. Now I think I've posted before, about how I've gotten pretty good at taking pictures while I'm driving. I know, I know, I know....it's dangerous, but let me assure you I'm not speeding (even though I'm getting on to a freeway- its barely on the on-ramp so I'm not speeding quite yet anyway) and I'm NOT looking at what I'm shooting. I just sort of stick my hand out, wish myself luck that I get it and *CLICK*. Not till after do I check out what I captured. So I was pretty happy with myself that I got a pretty decent shot on my first try.
Here it is:
Whoever the artist was, past tense because it has been covered up since (you can see the cover-ups of past 'artists'), did a pretty good job. Kind of a random spot. But hey!, it was going to get noticed. It's a pretty busy on-ramp. It kinda looks like a huelga bird. Or one of those birds from an aztec calendar. This is the closest pic I could find online that resembles it.
Anyway, I thought it was pretty cool. Until next session. (Much sooner I promise.) Have a good day! =)

Hey, that looks pretty cool. Creative graffiti is always worth taking a second look at. The risk involved with it, especially in California, is huge now a days. It sucks that it got covered up, but that's just how things go. It's just like life, nothing lasts forever. The thrill is in doing the art and knowing others are gonna see it.
ReplyDeleteBut anyway, it's great that you're dedicated to being persistent with your blog. Just keep writing about whatever you want, or even just simply posting a picture you took that you liked, without much explanation. People will come soon enough. Connect with other bloggers, and just keep at it. I'll be sure to give you a shout out on my blog this sunday to give you a boost. You've got some pretty cool pictures on here. :]
We like this whole Graffiti post idea, there is a lot of creative stuff out on the streets just sometimes the artists can put it in annoying places. Glad you are back blogging too!
