A Photo A Day ~ Street Art

I know I have a lot of catching up to do here on the good old blog and what better to start with then A Photo A Day Post.  If you are just joining us then welcome!  A Photo A Day started on my 27th birthday as I wanted to document my 27th year of life on this earth through pictures.   So I present to you Day 93 to 101 of my ‘photo series’ which is Street Art inspired.  Montreal is littered with graffiti on it’s buildings. I must say I am a big fan of it, the good stuff anyway.  Here are some shots of an abandoned building close to our apartment right by a major highway.  Unfortunately when we got into this huge storage space my camera died pretty quickly and Paul’s video camera died as well.  But here are the few pictures getting to the building and in the building.   Our area in the city is known for abandoned buildings to graff in and well as the huge cement highway poles.  Trust me this is just a little glimpse into some of the street art we have in St-Henri.   I will have to do a big walk around to show you some of the eye popping, how did they do that street art very soon.

You are really seeing these ‘I ♥ Cheese’ tags everywhere in Montreal these days and I must say I like them.

Here’s a little more St-Henri street art for you, right across from our old loft.

I am not to sure who this artist is although it looks like she/he is doing a rip of Zema’s work.  Anyone know who this is?

Poster Art is a big thing in Montreal as well. I really love these ‘American Dollar Bills’ featuring the MQ-1 Predator.  I don’t know about you but this drone is scary!  We have people controlling $4.5 million drone planes with ‘game controllers’?  Anyone else see the link between the overly violent video games and their ploy to get kids to join the army?  I’m just saying, but I would love to hear what you think.
