[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This was taken on Haad Rin beach at the September 1999 Full Moon Party.

I used the night setting on my little Minolta camera and gambled that this would delay the shutter speed enough to get a result like this; I was lucky!

I have been told that this activity is known as 'Poiing' and is thought to originate from Maori and South Pacific culture although not with fire but with knitted balls.

Très belle exposition. Cette exposition devait être assez courte vu que le personnage n'est pas flou. les gens en background sont un peu flou... on dirait des fantômes. Ça fait un effet magique.
