Octo BBoys

Thursday, July 08, 2010

While hanging around the ultra-touristy pier area in San Fran, I was treated to my first live dance crew performance. A group of about 6 or 7 guys from across the Bay Bridge in Oakland, materialized with a ghetto blaster and some pieces of cardboard and began to throw down some moves. A few had some skill and the others were fairly sub-par, but all were full of bravado and racial trash-talking. They didn't hesitate to start asking for donations of twenties from the crowd.

I snapped a series of photos on burst mode of some of the dancers, thinking it would make some interesting action shots. With a little layering and masking in Photoshop, it turned into a crazy multi-limbed bboy creature.
