One of only three good photographs I took at 'Escape Into The Park'. The day started off pretty well. Most people were mellow to begin with but things soon got crazy. Me and Noah did laps of the place. We'd walk through the crowd taking pictures. Mostly people would see the camera and ask for a photo of them and their mates. The majority of the people there were pretty neutral really and it quickly became a pain in the arse having to fend off the groups of boys and girls. There were plenty of crazy looking people though. Clubbers are obviously used to having their photo taken as they would quickly jump into a reheased pose. Anyway, a lap would consist of a visit to each of the six tents playing different music. The trance tent and the drum and bass tent were going off all day long. We'd also wander through the 'fairground' area and end up safely in the V.I.P area for a sitdown. With each lap things got crazier and crazier. The booze and drugs were kicking in I guess. There was a tense atmosphere in some places and it was easy to tell who was on what. Insecure 'roiders' were checking out the other muscleheads. 'there is always someone bigger'! The rubbish was piling up. People were crashed out. The mud was unpassable in places. It wasn't even dark. Even the sanctury of the V.I.P area was getting crazy.
