It must be almost a month since I got back from Portugal, bringing with me rolls and rolls of film taken at a festival that goes by the pretty forthright name of Boom. Personally, I'm still trying to get my head around my time there so I don't know how best to begin describing it. The festival is full of beautiful people, naked people, lungi-wearing DMT smokers, crazy cats eating acid all day everyday, a whole load of tie dye, and probably one (thousand) too many white guys with dreds. The whole thing is on the edge of a lake with different areas called things like Tripical Beach, Sacred Fire, Groovy Beach, the Dance Temple, Kosmicare (where you would go if you are having a bad trip, no kidding), the Kingdom of Elves, the Healing area, the edible garden etc etc. You get the picture, or maybe not. Either way, I'm guessing that half the people reading this think Boom sounds like some kind of new age dystopian nightmare so I might also add that it's a psytrance music festival and it's 10 days long. Probably no ones wants to go now. I'll just let my photos do the rest of the explaining.
