This weekend was the mucho anticipated Burner event “Decompression”! For those who are familiar with “Burning man“, you’ll understand what it means! For the rest, Burning man is a massive art festival held in the Nevada desert, basically people from all over the world go to the desert and create a city for a week, it’s all about art in motion. People that attend this event usually get completely hooked on it and are often referred to as “Burners”.

San Francisco shelters probably one of the biggest burner community. Decompression is a bit like a high school reunion, where people can meet up with old friends, relive some of the creative madness and generally speaking as it is San Francisco it’s yet again another opportunity to dress up or just don’t dress at all!

I arrived there at around 3pm and stayed there till 10pm, I was on my own but I got to meet all sorts of people… that I’ll probably never meet again! But it was fun! Unfortunately the weather was rather cold, but to look at it on the bright side it wasn’t raining, which was quite lucky as it is mostly outdoor. There was a few art structure, plenty of music and great costumes! I was drinking a little so I’m afraid my pictures will not do justice to the creativity of the event!
