Shambala

Festivals are a place where the constraints of every-day life are abandoned and a brand new community is created within a very short period of time: the festival community. It is interesting that during this period people allow themselves sometimes drug and/or alcohol induced, sometimes not to expand their thinking beyond the boundaries we impose upon ourselves during our regular everyday existence. This expansion of thought has a tangible effect, giving an all embracing change in energy and a sense of freedom.

These shots were captured at Shambala one of my favourite independent festivals.
