Ah man, I love graff culture. I've heard plenty of friends talk about some of the ways they get up to those hard to reach places; but I don't want to give away their secrets. It certainly is kind of a status thing, and additionally it discourages vandalism by some of the more disrespectful "artists"(morons) and gets more exposure.
I saw a lot of controversy even just looking at your photos. A few of these fools have death wishes doing shitty tags over those pieces!
It looks like a cool place. I would've enjoyed street art a lot more with a place like that when I was younger. I just played look out for my actually talented friends though. My shit was never meant to meet the public's eye 😂
Great photos, as always! Love reading your posts.
I guess you are from the USA looking at your profile. Would it be dangerous to visit somewhere like this over there? It never feels like that here, no guns helps.
Nah not at all. It's the type of thing where every mother and father will tell their kids stuff like this is dangerous, and sure it is, but so is walking down the street. The rumors that the homeless are gonna stab some random kid for exploring and just that- rumors made up by people who have never had to sleep a night outside in their entire lives. The USA boogeymen you hear of are usually completely harmless and just people going through a tough time created by our fucked up economic system. The real boogeymen here, that would endanger a stranger, are usually successful people that breeze their way through life. I've found more safety and love in homeless encampments than in any job or school I've ever been to.
