In this one, I duplicated the layer of the original, less intense image (seen below). I, then added a grain merge (at 50) to create an HDR-like effect. Taken off of Santa Monica Pier, California.

The following poem refers to the notion of people blindly following something, anything (a trend, a meme, a religion) just because the “in” crowd - or masses - is doing it:
Overcast throughout the moment
Gutted sides, hollowed backs-
Drifting toward sounds with no
Pronunciation; bent without cracks.Grainy draining, pushing further
Past the faceless crowded cell,
Gaining hazy blurred truths
They all hear but never tell.
Written August 2006.

The original images were taken at a Hollywood club (July 2007). The image of the partying crowd was added to the sole Corona bottle on the chair shortly thereafter.

A friend of mine is a club promoter; I was taking pictures one time for him. So I figured, What better place to put a crowded dancefloor than on a leaf? Hah.
