Yes! It’s that time of the year again, when I get to be an official photographer for the Kings of Concrete festival, woohoo!
The Kings of Concrete is a 2 day festival held in the ground of the Dublin Civic Offices in Wood Quay, Dublin. It’s a brilliant festival that features and focuses on mostly ignored activites, like skateboarding, parkour, B-boy dancing, MC-ing (not sure what the verb to MC is), graffiti/street art, rollerblading, BMXing…and that’s all I can think of right now but there’s also workshops so anyone can learn these same skills. You can learn how to print your own tshirts, how to breakdance, do caperoia (prob spelt wrong, I’m tired right now), how to MC and lots more.
It’s also a chance to be able to approach graffiti artists, which isn’t something I can normally do. I managed to overcome my aweness/shyness and talk to a few of them about their work and just in general talk to them.
So, here are some of my favourite street art pieces from Saturday 25th July 2009:

That’s all I’m gonna show you of Day 1, but there’s more on my Flickr page!
Day 2 pictures will be put up sometime this week, my eyes need a rest from going through 1000 photos!
Oh and one more thing: a poster that I made of His Noodliness, Flying Spaghetti Monster proclaiming his love of the Kings Of Concrete
He loves the Kings Of Concrete!
