Whole Earth Festival 2009 little girl and clown

I thought this shot was a little muddled, needed shallower depth of focus. But the moment happened and there was not time to adjust the aperture.
My first encounter with Whole Earth was in May 1985. It was a Sunday. We had just moved to Davis and were spending the day on campus. My husband was watching a cricket match and our daughter and I were exploring on our bikes. At one point I made it to the Quad and saw something that made my jaw drop. I left to find my husband because, wow, he needed to see this. When he asked what was going on, I told him, "Either I just had a massive acid flashback or there are a couple thousand people on the Quad who think it's 1967. " Tie dye, vegetarian food vendors, rock bands, yoga/meditation tents, etc. It was breathtaking. I've attended many more since then.

Fantastic shot! I love how the line of bubbles leads the eye round the picture.
