Will Roegge + Risky Devil Street Car Club

Quick Snaps – JOB Harrisburg, PA

In college, someone showed me Breakin’ 2 – Electric Boogaloo. The scene that really had the greatest impact was the rotating room dance sequence. Where Turbo and Ozone pop and lock all over the walls and ceiling of a rotating room. Another influence was getting really hyped up listening to Lionel Richie’s Dancing On the...

Quick Snaps – JOB Bible Belt

I woke up in a van. Third row bench seat. A stack of tour t-shirts as a pillow. The humid Arkansas air was stale when the van door opened. In a daze, I gathered my batteries, camera bag, laptop, and my trusty suitcase. Looking down at my legs, I was impressed that they were carrying...
