Traveling art
Sometimes it’s good to get stopped by the train on the way to work. It’s like a moving museum!

Traveling art

Check it – I was on my way to work and got stopped at a railroad crossing. Lots of times you can take advantage of a situation like this to check out what’s going on around you, take in something you might otherwise miss while you’re berating yourself for leaving for work five minutes late that morning (or maybe that was just me?). Anyway, as the train rolled by I grabbed the camera and waited for an opportunity. The very last car had some fairly interesting art on it. I thought “Bile” actually looked pretty decent this morning! I always admire that people can get this stuff put up so quickly while sneaking around a rail yard with rattle cans. I also love the idea that it travels all over the country, and you can look at it if you just sit still for three minutes. There’s not even an admission fee to the gallery!
Traveling Graffiti 8/14/09
Moving art, from coast to coast!
Friday started my weekend of ridiculous busy-ness. The band was playing every day of the weekend, and two of the three gigs were out of town, so there was lots of driving involved. On this day I realized as I was checking my voicemail on my drive to work, that I was not going to have time to go home and change, rather I had to drive straight to the gig to make it on time, as we had an unusually early start. I didn’t take any photos on my lunch break, and only snapped a few out the window in the last fifteen minutes before the gig to try and get anything at all on film – or pixels, whatever. Anyway, you either were going to get some corn, or this graffiti that was on the side of a train which I saw when I got stopped at a rail crossing when I was only about five minutes away from the gig. I know, not much of a choice, but there you go. Sometimes days are like this.
