Moments after I made the previoius image, the Samba band resumed its march up and down the aisles of Montevideo's Old Town Market, a huge shed crowded with large restaurants and bars. The noise was deafening, as hundreds of people clapped and sang in time to the beat of the drums and blare of the brass. I wanted to capture contrasting responses, and at one restaurant I struck gold. The light was low, and so was my shutter speed, down to a slow 1/20th of a second. Without using tripod or flash, I was able to blur the women seated in front, contrasting their spontaneous clapping and singing to the more sedate fellows behind them. The camera's ability to both extend and freeze this moment in time helps me tell my story -- some like to sing and clap, others don't.
