BURNING MAN

NEWMAN....WHAT IS THE BURNING MAN PROJECT?
http://www.burningman.com/whatisburningman/about_burningman/experience.html

Thank you for your time here and for your very kind comments. Mad Max-Road Warrior came to mind quite often as we explored this crazy event! I could not capture the true feeling of this festival in any photograph but believe me, the actual product is much more colorful and fun than my pictures can ever show.

I just sent this post to a bunch of my friends as I agree with most of what you’re saying here and the way you’ve presented it is awesome.

The "burning man" series definitely changed the way that human race would eveolve from now on, and should be designated by UNESCO as 9th wonder of the world. Keep on going , man, and burn. burn , burn ! LOL & V

I'm jealous....If there were more events like this...we could end the war and be more prosperous. Less sanity is the answer!!

The most original and unique gallery ever on pbase! Surreal even by the SoCal standards of LeeG! Move over Salvador Dali.

Hi Lee, I am in the Photo 39 group in SD and a 6th time burner. My Son was on top of the Derick when the sandstorm hit. I was below, in fact in your image I can make out where I was standing. I jammed 3 cameras that day and most of my images thereafter were out of focus. My Son Karl had wished he had one of my cameras when he was on top of the Derick. The seven statues of the women where engulfed in the sandstorm but their heads and arms could be seen, as if they were reaching through the clouds to God. Are you going again this year? There is some talk about a few of us from the meetup photo group going or meeting there. Best, Kris Balch

I looked for JHR's shiny bike in the nooks and crannies here too... but no luck. Between the two of you tho' your shots provide a great sense of place. It's quite an annual collection of characters. :)
