 I felt dizzy ….  woozy and I knew I wasn’t drunk.

I suddenly realized it was the horizon. I used my zoom, and reeled the area in. It was a building painted on a building, The St. Regis Hotel – 1911. The sky line was insane.

There was construction pounding at the base of the building and a jammed half-block long parking lot. So I went back on a Sunday.

Adventures in Graf w/my L.A. Street Art book

L.A. Street Art by: Jacqueline Hadel & I had a fab day while we tried to find the Mayor Ford paste up for a photo op.

Who knew, but Alley Denizens lead us to a different one. Is it a Mayor Ford crack pipe or Mayor Ford as a crack pipe?

However, first things first. We started in a back lane S. of Queen W. between Bathurst and Niagra.

This is when Denizens confronted us about what we we doing. They were protecting the art. When they realized I was taking pics of a street art book with street art, they promptly took us across the alley to some Mayor Ford Graf in a doorway.
