I finally got my camera developed from the Tomatina, so here’s the photographic evidence. Some of these aren’t the greatest pictures, but it was certainly adverse conditions. Pretty much any time you raised a camera to take a photo, people would try to hit the camera with tomatoes. It was pretty awesome.
Officially, the festival isn’t supposed to start until somebody climbs a greased pole and retrieves a ham hock. But, as you can see in the last photo, by the time the tomato fight ended, the ham was still securely on the pole. Later, a group of guys knocked the whole pole over to get the ham.
- Throngs of people

- Tomato chaos ensues
- Swim goggles were clutch
- Tomato on the lens
- Clean the lens!
- That’s a little better
- The streets run red with tomato
- They sprayed water too
- The unripe tomatoes hurt the most
- The fight rages on
- And on
- Yellow shirt wants out
- Poised to throw
- Swim cap was smart
- Me near the end
- The aftermath
- Tomato wrestling
- And stay down!
- The ham, still on its pole
