Off The Shelf

     KFT 2

Hitting from the heart of Graffiti, in a British way, this magazine is for the purist in all of us.

Mainly concentrating on the age ol art of train bombing, you have to give it up to these guys, they are definitely taking their life into their own hands for their art.

Train yards have changed since the 1970s. Over the years infar-red cameras, heat sensitive image cameras and not so sensitive security guards with slavering dogs and cattle prods have been introduced. So we have to take our hats off to um, cus sooner or later they're going to have a stint behind the metal bars, for sure!

This title takes us on a trip over the railway lines and into the hoodied life of spray, intent on getting their work out there no matter what it takes. Even though it could be erased before the morning rush hour, with their images lasting hours rather then days or weeks.

Contents include:

British Rail Bomb 1, 2, 3

London's Underground 1, 2, 4, 5

Flesh Cut Fridays With Luci Westphal

Prospect Park, the 585-acre Brooklyn park designed by Central Park creators Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux, is my sanctuary. It's one of my favorite places in New York.

I've been living in a multitude of apartments near it and have many fond memories of times spent in the park alone and with friends. Over the last dozen years, as NYC has become safer and more desirable, there have a been many wonderful improvements in the park. A few years ago I started running in the park. It's become my regular place where I can take a deep breath, stretch my legs and let my thoughts wander.

While the park is a great place to visit year-round and is the place to be on weekends when it gets super crowded and whole families and big parties use it as their backyard (for big BBQs, sledding and ice skating, playing baseball, etc.), my favorite times are the more subdued off-season weekday late mornings - like when I was filming... when it's the park of only a few runners, dog walkers, cyclists, filmmakers, hustlers, parents and the birds, bees and squirrels. No matter when you go though, you get the sense that these are the lungs of "the borough of neighbors", a wonderfully diverse place where people from all cultural backgrounds live together.

It's been a very busy week - so it was a special treat to come to the park on Tuesday to shoot this video.

As so often there was so much more I'd like to show you that I filed but didn't make the cut (Quaker / Friends Cemetery, Bachelorette film crew, etc.) or that didn't get filmed this time (women strolercizing, chipmunks, hawks, Muslim women in full hijab playing Frisbee, Orthodox Jewish women jogging in long skirts, etc.).

Unfortunately on Tuesday the weather was weird - it was humid and hazy with the sky greyish but very bright, which led to less ideal shooting conditions and some strange colors and contrasts in the video.

thanks to Tri for supplying the poster 

27th of September starting at 7pm. 

 

If you have a student card then you can have a go at Slacklining. 

Two Seasons, The Rad Dad Collective and Tri- Sports and Fitness are just some of companies/groups featured at this year's Lockdown Fest. 

What's it all about... if your a University student in the UK (basically if you have a NUS card) then you are eligible for an evening in the Westfield Shoppnig Centre. 

With support from Derby University, over 4000 peeps attended last year and with over 70 stores and stalls taking part with celeb performers/hosts/DJs - it should be a right ace Party!

Rad Dad Collective will be near the Slacklines. Come say 'hey' and grab yourself a free tin of Relentless Energy Drink, (while supplies last).
