Another one from my archives, back in my pre-DLSR days (2003), pre knowing ANYTHING about photography, just playing with my Olympus and learning as I went along. This was taken from one of the VIP bars upstairs in Amnesia, the second biggest club on Ibiza, during their famous Espuma party night- Foam Party in english. I love how well-timed shit shot was with that boy in the center of the stream, with, surprisingly, almost a circle of space around him on the pulsing dance floor.
I had only had a few drinks, was not drunk, this was handheld, with no flash. I kept the space in the upper right because I wanted to keep the foam flow and the edge of the foam cannon in the upper left- I feel cropping it WOULD strengthen it, but also lose come motion and context.

Oh God! I remember nights like this... only
I grew up in Chicago where we had to break
into warehouses on the south side to do it.
Ahhh, what wonderful, headache and twitch
inducing memories they are...

thanks Jake- this pic brings back fond
memories myself....you know what I wish? I
wish I had the knowledge and camera and
lenses then that I do now, that, combined
with special permission to take pictures
inside the club, would have got me some
AMAZING pictures. I like your mention of
'twitch inducing'- very visual and visceral
at the same time. Of course, it was this
camera being stolen in Morocco that really
jump-started my 'serious' interest in
photography, so good can come from bad....

A fine situation, there's real action in this
shot. Perhaps a crop to remove some of the
empty space could strengthen it but the story
gets across the screen. Score 10/13 (from theJudgment Day group)

Some focus problems but in these
circumstances perfectly understandable.
Looked like a hell of a night.

Really a fantastic picture. I love the sense
of craziness on the floor, and that flow of
foam (?) was really captured well. A little
more sharpness would have been nice, but this
was a tough shot.
