CBR Dec 4th 2009

Took a trip to CBR last Saturday to check out recent activity. Here are some shots I snapped. I've been trying to get a solid pan shot of this spot from end to end for a while but the uneven ground and angles are not conducive to such a thing. I'll work on it and hopefully I'll get something soon enough. Until then, these will have to do.

This was a piece done by a young local writer named RAZOR who was recently murdered. Check out the story here. You can see a couple R.I.P.'s markered in on the fill-in. Young kid, shame it happened. R.I.P.

Arguably my favorite shot of the day. The lighting was beyond perfect.

All in all there were a few nice pieces up and lots of new tags, cross outs, and throwies. Smak and Sage hit up a couple of spots, Tosk, Kicker, Hops, and Arson had a couple hits up too. Some others, OPK and MY crew hits, seemed to stand the test of time over the last month or so.

I'll post some flics from the TA Wall and factory soon as well as some fresh stuff from the streets.

CBR October 2009

Cybertron By the River (CBR) is one of the oldest bombing spots in Montreal. Its a dirty, muddy, and messy area soaked in tags, throw ups, and the occassional piece that has for the longest time been a place where writers can go just to throw up a few hits, hang out, blow off some steam, and practice some styles. Nothing stays up long at CBR as many toys tend to scibble all over the place but you'll probably at best get a shelf life of a week or two depending on the traffic that flows through.

What I like the most about this place is that everytime you stop by to check it out it's different, changed, even if slightly. Someone is always getting up here. CBR is easily over a few hundred feet long and runs a little further down beyond the main wall as the ceiling height vanishes under a highway on-ramp. And it's completely covered end to end, top to bottom.

I've got many flicks of this place over the years, but here are a few recent shots I got while hanging with some members from MY (MontrealogY) Crew this past weekend. I got more flicks in the vault that'll be posted soon enough. Enjoy these for now.
