Upon hearing that he missed an event causing headlines in newspapers such as "Police powerless as 20,000 attend rave" Hunter states that he could "feel the blood drain from my body as I realise that I have missed one of the major cultural events in my lifetime". This is where the influence for his project could be seen to have begun. He decided to travel on converted vans, part of the travelling rave scene, and has produced a unique photographic representation of his experiences. "Le Crowbar paints a vivid picture of friends on a journey, exploring new horizons and ways of living on the road, in the wake of the introduction of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act of 1994". The importance of his personal experiences attached to these images is what makes them have character to me. The project very much feels like an insiders perspective of the way of living. The book neglects the less positive aspects of the scene, aspects which one could safely assume did happen at such events. Ignoring scenes of drug use, its effects or anything related/explicit, gives the project a real sense of innocence. The book really does feel like a journey through Hunter's first hand experiences, through his education of travelling raves.
