Graf Exit from Brooklyn

- kc - Sunday, October 9th, 2005 : goo

[previous] :: [next]

This is the view from the Manhattan Bridge pedestrian walkway, coming down into Chinatown. It intrigues me the way the graffiti--is that what does it?--seems to flatten out the view...

Jess: Wow.

i think you are right. and those photos are just great. you know i think they would sell like hot cakes if you were to have them made into postcards, they are really tops

Peter: wow- great shots, kc! thanks a ton...

minotaur: 10th Oct 2005 - 13:53 GMT

these are some phenominal photos man. thanks for flicking this shit

Laura : 10th Oct 2005 - 23:03 GMT

Wow, it really does look flat. It def appears that the graf is the culprit.

I plead the fif: 11th Oct 2005 - 03:22 GMT

this is pretty dope I have to say.
would love to see this on postcards.

jeeff: 11th Oct 2005 - 04:02 GMT

graf has a way of making everything else look like negative space. i like how all the photos run into each other, like a big .

kc: 11th Oct 2005 - 13:47 GMT

thanks to you all. I've never been offered the chance to buy a hotcake...or I don't think so. Is it pancake? A postcard is an intriguing idea....not hard, probably, making them at least...prhaps a citynoise collection.

elaine: 11th Oct 2005 - 14:34 GMT

if you were offered the chance to buy a hot cake, i bet you would just snap it up, like the chance to buy really good postcards... i think it is probably cheapest to get them printed by an online supplier, and they tend to be printed in 4s i believe, so again another money saver. a cn collection would be good, but so would just being able to buy these around ny and be able to send them instead of the usual suspects.

eker: mega oldschool:))

Peter: totally not at all oldskool.

kc: 12th Oct 2005 - 18:49 GMT

help! What's oldschool? vs. Oldskool? Assume the spelling means a different thing. That Soak at the end looked pretty classic, like from the 70s, the subway-painting days...the arrow at the end...

Peter: 12th Oct 2005 - 18:52 GMT

i think it means the same thing, just different ways of spelling it.

when i think oldskool, i think of stuff like this- with less focus on letter forms and more focus on bright colors and energy:

thats just my own bent, though. everyone has their own take on things, as whats "oldskool" changes year by year, i guess... i think it all goes back to personal points... for me, oldskool is anything that looks older than the stuff i first noticced when i was just getting into graf in the late 80s.

Paul G: 13th Oct 2005 - 23:34 GMT

it's at the point of being a folk art collage, or assemblage, like a patchwork quilt from appalachia, or jazz, or some other similar thing - that's totally american...

elaine: 14th Oct 2005 - 09:04 GMT

it is isn't it? i agree completely (this is also why i think they would sell as poscards - they have much mojo)

Dan G: Oct 27 7am: 28th Oct 2005 - 11:04 GMT

Alot of selectivity in the way you stacked, cropped, and color arranged these shots. Old? New? I like the way you saw this graffiti and presented it to us. Old or new, it changes in the light and is part of our urban experience.

NET PI 156 KRT: god bless graffiti

anon (cache-rtc-ad06.proxy.aol.com): 23rd Jan 2006 - 21:04 GMT

does anyone remeber the weird silhouette sprawled on the walls of manhatten in the early 80s?
usually the top of the head had a flaired splash of paint to symbolize the hair ,almost looks as if the head exploded.
i never see them anymore and was curious to see if anyone knows what i am talking about.
where can i see a photo of this graffiti that was all over the city in the early 80s?
please email me pjoust@aol.com
