Thank you all very much for exploring, commenting and faving this image. It really means a lot to me, because it is an intense memory of a Berlin that no longer exists.
Painted in 1998 with Kaper in Phoenix, Az. , caught by the Homie, Alamo in Minnesota 2010. Thanks for the flic. A little sun damaged and fading but still there. I guess this wasn't the first time either that he's caught this car. That's pretty cool to think of all the places that the piece has probably seen in it's days. I may be over-romanticizing it but it does make you wonder........
The night we painted this was a pretty cool night with a smooth breeze. A perfect night for painting. Unlike the daytime temperatures that were clearly in the low 100's. The yard spot was in an industrial area within the center of the city. It was completely dead and was full of line after line of Hoppers and BN ridgies, no boxcars though. So we grabbed the next best thing. I remember kind of being a little let down thinking, "Shit, I could paint these back home." Either way, I was just glad to be rocking with the Desert King, Kaper. This all took place after learning of each others existance and having a mutual respect for each other as writers on the lines. We got in contact with each other the old fashioned way. We traded flicks by sending packages to each other and built up a relationship as friends. Something that used to take quite a bit of time back in the nineties. Something that now can be obtained with a few clicks on a computer. It's pretty cool to see how things have changed. Seriously and I know that this is going to date me but to all you young writers out there, you have to imagine NO Internet. There was the internet, just noone really knew how to use it. Email and chat rooms and places like Flickr, were a distant innovation and guys like me didn't grow up with computers as real learning tools in school. I actually got Kaper's address and phone number from another writer that I was trading photos with in Cali. It was a pretty cool thing to do, go visit a new city and paint with a complete stranger that you have never even seen his face. The first time I met Kaper I was chilling at a local meeting spot in Tempe. He approached me and we ended up going to Hooters and downing a few pitchers of beers and talking graff while looking at some ass for a couple hours. It was good and we pretty much hit it off. The next time I met up with him, his whole NG crew of homies were there. Some real cool cats. We all kicked it at this pub and got up in each others sketch books. It was a good night. Kaper and I ended up painting one more Fr8 together on that trip and a wall with a bunch of writers from Phoenix and LA on the outskirts of town. We lost touch over time and I haven't really talked to him in over ten years. I hope to make it back out to Phoenix someday soon and hopefully crush a few cars with him again. Seeing this photo, really brings me back to that time, plus knowing that my piece has survived 12 plus years of service, makes me feel good. Thanks again, Alamo for the photo and thanks Kaper for the memories.
Painted in 1998. Don't remember much about this piece. It was probably done with Logik AKB. Pretty weird for me to not do highlights and shines in my piece, so, I either had to end this one early or was just trying something new out. Either way, I like the look of this hopper. This was when I was in my style of just adding a bunch of different bends to my bars. I probably only did this style for about 3 months but for some reason these pieces always seemed to turn up in places I least expected them to. Like mags and people caught them in their city. Which is always Ironic to me. Nobody ever seems to catch my really good fr8s or atleast it seems that way. For years people used to send me photos of my fr8's stating they were caught in Texas, Cali, New York and Canada, etc...... and I was always happy to see that they were getting caught but then when I'd look at the photo, I'd be like damn, that was my worst one that year. lol. It always seem to happen that way. I'm sure the others eventually got caught, it just never seemed like it. That's what I love about this Flickr. I have painted fr8's, got some terrible night shots and have been able to get good photos from people's Flickr accounts that they had caught rolling somewhere. So, I have give it up to the Benchers out there and give a big thank you to anyone that has caught and posted any one of my pieces or fr8's. Thanks guys. Keep up the Good Work! Peace.

A BNSF eastbound manifest passes the Champion paper mill at Sartell, MN back in September 1998. At this time the mill was still going strong with over 400 employees churning out coated paper for Time and Victoria Secret, among other magazines. Verso shut down the mill in 2012, with half that many employees, after a fatal explosion. What a difference 20 years makes here.
BN 8006, CP 6607, and 762 were power for this manifest. Although run through power wasn’t as common as it is now, this red dual flags pair ran the Staples Sub. numerous times in the late summer of ‘98. September 1998 means I had just started my junior year a few miles away at St. Cloud State University.
Im Sommer 1998 gab es die Baureihe 103 zwischen Regensburg und Nürnberg im Zwei-Stunden-Takt. ÖBB- und auch MAV-Garnituren sorgten für zusätzliche Abwechslung in der noch bunten DB-Welt. In Dettenhofen war es, soweit ich mich erinnere, bereits der zweite Anlauf, um den abendlichen Eurocity aus Wien abzulichten. Denn abhaken konnte man eine Fotostelle erst mit einer rot-beigen 103. Und mit 103 167 war es glücklicherweise noch ein Exemplar im gut erhaltenem Lack.

Another photo I uploaded on my (former) IG account, but never here.
This one owner car was a very frequent sight locally, but it seemed to get traded in for something else in October 2024, and remains untaxed since. I very much doubt it still exists.
Ein aktuelles Vergleichsbild von dieser Stelle wäre sehr interessant, könnte aber je nach Sichtweise auch deprimierend sein.
