Benching SoCal Freight Graffiti - Oct. 16th 2020

            Thanks to all the writers!

After a disastrous last weekend trying to bench this spot and being chased away by like 800 bikers,  I went back this weekend and managed to be out here for a little over 5 hours without issue. 11:30 AM - 5 PM.

Not to say that there wasn't some sketchiness going on, but when you're out for hours your bound to see some shit going down.  It's usually just homeless shenanigans, but I leave them alone and they leave me alone.  Everyone just kinda' gets along and minds their own business. Just how I like it.

Spotted some AMAZING pieces today. Some of my favorite writers doing their best work, and not so best work, but seeing their work makes going out there worth it to me.

The added benefit:  I got out of the house for a few hours, didn't think about work, life, the f-ing Covid, or anything else besides spotting some great pieces and getting the best shots of those pieces I could.  Good times.

700+ shots this session, culled down to a little under 600.  A lot of shots, yeah.  But, every time I take a shot I'm documenting something that might get buffed next week and it will be gone forever.  Documenting art that could vanish in a week, a month, a year.. Who knows.  Either way, I've captured it, and will share it for as long as I can.

All in all, it was a good day.
