Graffiti In High Park Abandon

Some look at graffiti as damage to society, I would call that tagging. However, graffiti can be a work of art in so many ways. I take pictures of graffiti and turn it into my own art. The shot above was just your run of the miss spray paint canvas on the wall, but I seen more into it.
My start was to find the exact thing that i needed in the photograph and follow it up with an edit that could be breath taking. There it is. All this fun explains how depressed I felt that day, the darkness flowing through my veins, the thoughts of worthlessness I was dealing with. However, upon completing this piece, there was a sense of calm and peace in my mind, because I was able to put it out there and make it something. Something I could be proud of.

Here is another piece that came from my heart on another day. I found this one behind an abandoned house near the High Park area. Mind you this block of abandoned houses was torn down a couple years ago, when I came across them I needed to explore. Remember to always explore with caution, as you may not know who is hanging out in these places. 

I carefully went from house to house, making sure to turn my music off just in case someone was behind me. I would hear everything. Luckily no one was around most of the times that I went. I knew that when I seen this art on the wall, I needed to make it more. Something exciting and colourful. So there you have it. As for the spot that these houses were sitting? Well now a condo is being built there, because that is what Toronto needs is more condos!! It would have made more sense to leave the older looking houses there in the first place. Those families were bought out and moved out. Brings a tear to the eye.
