LOS ANGELES, CA � Crewest Gallery hosts �FOTOGRAFF,� an urban photojournalism exhibition with an opening reception on Saturday, May 3, 2008 from 7pm to 10pm. Organized by respected artist Vyal One this show offers a firsthand glimpse into the actions and minds of active graffiti artists. Most of the artists in this exhibit stumbled upon photography through the extensive documentation of their lives and endeavors.

The show enables the viewer to take a walk in their shoes and discloses the harsh realities that come with being a graffiti artist these days. The artwork will be available for viewing during the Downtown Art Walk on Thursday, May 8, 2008 from Noon to 9pm.
