186 Photos of the Parade and the Performers
For Carnaval 2007 San Francisco, Crusher decided to go old school with classic polaroids. We set out to find performers, take their portrait, and then give it to them. On the back we crushed on our ascii logo to let everyone know who we are and to supply a link to this page.
If you were one of the people we took a polaroid of, thanks for dropping by. Please share this page or login and a leave a comment below.
And what is Crusher? Our site allows anyone to make free pages and share them with whomever they want, just like we've done here. If you wanted to, you could make a page dedicated to your new flybar pogo stick. Mainly though, Crusher is for creating free invitations to your events. Our site is brand new and will be continually evolving, so check our blog to keep up to date. And as you begin to find new uses for the word crush, be sure to update the trusty urban dictionary.
Phillip! I love the feather background. I definitely had a good time playing sidekick to the professional polaroid man. Although, I noticed you kept rubbing the pictures on your pants - as you said to generate heat to make them develop faster. Others thought they should be shaking the pictures .. so here's an article I must share =) Click for article.

The festival was great. I was unsure what to expect and kind of timid asking people if I could take their photos but in the end it came easily. How can you feel bad about giving someone a beautiful polaroid of themselves? Most of the performers were very happy to have their picture taken but it seemed mostly out of habit. When I said it was for them to keep more than a few asked "Do we have to pay?". I guess that's the way it is these days. My favorite photo? The first one of the boy dancing.

It was funner than I expected, hanging out on 24th and folsom. There was two amusing kids, a fair number of wise crackers of all shapes and sizes, and the cops were friendly. So much to take pictures of too.
