EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Carl De Souza, we witness the sheer dedication and passion of a music fan at the renowned Glastonbury music festival in Pilton, Somerset. The image portrays a moment frozen in time on 22 June 2007, where amidst the muddy grounds, this enthusiastic fan fearlessly slides through the sludge with an infectious smile. With an estimated attendance of 177,500 people for this annual outdoor extravaganza, it is no surprise that even adverse weather conditions cannot dampen their spirits. As predicted, wet weather blankets the festival throughout its duration; however, it seems to only enhance the experience for these devoted fans who embrace every aspect of their musical pilgrimage. The horizontal composition allows us to fully appreciate both the determination and vulnerability displayed by this individual. Covered head-to-toe in mud, they lie down gracefully as if surrendering themselves to both nature's elements and the power of music itself. It serves as a testament to how deeply intertwined emotions can become when immersed in such an electrifying atmosphere. This photograph encapsulates not just one person's journey but also symbolizes countless others who share a profound love for music festivals worldwide. Through De Souza's lens and AFP's distribution network, we are granted access to moments like these that remind us why live events hold such significance in our lives - connecting us through shared experiences while allowing us to revel in pure joy and abandon.
