Sign of Decay

I don't think the gang graffiti did this sign much harm. I absolutely love the weird oozing stains along the top of the pillars, who knows what did that.

Graffiti Sign

This poor signal light has had a rough life; the piece of wire is all that's holding it together...

Graffiti-strewn Brickhouse & Chair

This is my favorite picture from the day of shooting on the Hiawatha Rail Corridor. This abandoned little brick office sits between two elevators. Despite it's situation, it's held it's own. In fact, it politely invites you to rest in it's mello-yello deluxe laundromat-style chair. So pull up a mello-yello chair and celebrate, it's my birthday.

Minneapolis Railroad Graffiti

The  rail main lines carry big drag-freight of coal and lumber in new rolling stock, but Minneapolis has many small transload lines too that use old, beat-up cars that have definitely seen better days. I was delighted to find an old Chicago Northwestern car peaking out between to equally Graffiti-encrusted cars. A lot of the old branch lines around here have been cut or go nowhere and just end up being storage for these old hulks which is good news for us graffiti hunters. Note* Please, if you're inspired to go hunting, never step between parked rail-cars, I leaned in for this shot, but did not step in. If a switcher bumps the line of cars, you could suffer serious injury, these babies weight around 80,000 lbs empty!

The Chair, Urban Decay Series

It's Monday and time for a new series! After a week of clouds, I decided it was time to head underground and take a look at the spooky and dark side of my fair city. This little tableau caught my eye, how often does one find a comfy barcalounger waiting for them in such a lovely setting. Like any good city photographer, I forsook the tempting creature comforts and set to task of documenting the scene.
