Crazy on the dance floor


I almost forgot about this assignment. Awhile ago, I was contacted by the owner of the Killarney Hotel in Shawville about photos of his bar.
I'd never been there. I didn't know anything about it. So, clearly, when I pictured a quiet little place with the typical older crowd of Shawville drinking beers and playing pool, I was very mistaken.
When I arrived, the place was absolutely bumping. They were also EXTREMELY strict when it came to checking people's age, it was incredible.
I spoke to a group of young guys who were visiting from Wasaga Beach. That's right - a group of college-aged guys visiting Shawville from Wasaga. Seems a bit backwards, doesn't it?
Anyways, it was one crazy night. This ended up being the most fitting shot from the shoot. I was still in total shock, even as I left. The fact I was so severely mistaken about what I was shooting just blew my mind.

Yeah, that place is a total shock when you first walk in. It's completely out of place with the rest of the town.
