Nothing beats black & white fill-ins in a drainage tunnel.

Del, if I’m reading the letters right, was an early/mid 90s writer that had several fill-ins around town including on an abandoned K-Mart on the east-side that was very visible from the road which blew my mind. The first photo you can also see an SK outline by Seek.

I’ve been digging through old photos again lately. Here are more scans of old 35mm film prints.

Every weekend I am out waiting for trains to roll by. Winter is a good time to bench. Here are some more recent catches.

I went for a walk in the cold and explored some old spots. I also got some flash photography in a tunnel spot. Reminded me of the old night-flick days. The Kwiz piece is from mid-1990s and still running. The 4th from last picture you can still see the old Kwiz tag on the top mentioned in a previous post.

Scans from the early 2000s. The Pore outline was done in the late 90s, I imagine. Underneath the Sufr fill-in from 2001 are outlines by Pore and Das. They both had outlines in the old piano factory. Above the Nuro piece is a Sum tag.

In 2007, I was shooting only film, and didn’t have a working digital camera. On a rainy day I caught a character outline on a hopper by Kwiz, circa mid 1990s. Being the local graffiti nerd I am, I was very stoked. I’m not sure if many freights were painted in Richmond during the early/mid 90s, but maybe a few. This one was probably painted by convenience, and looks like it was kind of rushed. A block away, there used to be a tag in red that might have been during the same time frame. (It’s barely visible in the last photo, underneath the word “BOX”.) [Update: 1/7/26, I published one of these photos in a zine (Racoon in the Sewer) in 2007. I was living in Bloomington, IN at the time and may have flicked it during a holiday or visit back home.]

Here is a grainy scan of a Sufr piece from 2002. It was painted over a Neon/Neko piece which was over one of the first Sufr pieces ever (You can see parts of the “S” and “R” underneath it). Above the piece you can see Kwiz outline in red, which I have cropped to highlight. This piece was across from the “Skills Flow Like Ink” piece.

I’ve also included a scan from a negative of an early Sufr character done in 2000 with extra roller buff paint in the same tunnel over some White Zombie graffiti, and there is part of a Neko tag in the bottom right corner. I found this shot while digging through negatives on a roll I thought I lost.

My wife and I visited the Boston area last summer for a vacation. Here are a few rail shots from the trip, mostly of trash-trains near the Framingham yard. I’ve always liked these east coast trash trains, and it did in fact smell of hot garbage at this spot. My idea of a great vacation memory.
