"The book was photographed bewteen 2001 and 2007. It was shot entirely on film, about 15 different films to be exact. The design process took about 3 months. I wanted to create a book that encompassed this work in one package. Most of the images were taken in Ibiza, Spain at Manumission, which was a Moulin Rouge style stage show and was deemed "The biggest Party in the World". Some other images in the book were taken in Hollywood, Italy and Morocco." - Victor Spinelli

"In the early 1990′s I became a commercial hot air balloon pilot-instructor and started a rag tag but successful Hot Air Balloon sky diving and bungee jumping business. I actually own a World Record (unofficial) for having the oldest lady, Grace Tall, then 75 years old, to bungee jump from my balloon as I was piloting. See Ripley’s Believe it or Not. Moving forward, with camera in hand, I have for the past 17 years split my time between New York, the Mediterranean and California and have evolved my artistry into several multi-media directions by working on films, commercials, music videos, documentaries and print campaigns. After working for three summers in Mykonos, Greece photographing the island life, I was drawn to another island in the Mediterranean: Ibiza, Spain. Now Shanghai, China is calling me. As her resurrection begins as Asia's financial powerhouse, my work lands at her doorstep at the perfect time. A venture capital firm has teamed up with me and we have just opened 'Spinelli Galleries Shanghai' in March." – Victor Spinelli
