La Tomatina by Ignacio Lozano



La Tomatina is an annual festival held at the end of August in the town of Buñol in the Valencia region in Spain. About 30,000 people come to this town of about 9,000 people to throw more than 100 tons of tomatoes at each other to create some seriously sexy carnage. Nobody is quite clear on why this tradition started, but the opportunity to pummel thousands of half-naked guys with delicious tomato pulp is our best guess. Or maybe it’s just an excuse for a group bath in the Buñol River afterwords. Whatever the reason, Ignacio Lozano found himself there for this year’s battle and and sent us a few pics to share with you (source: East Village Boys).
