The Burning Man festival is
an experiment in radical free expression. 30,000 people camp for a week in a
desert - Black Rock desert, an ancient lake-bottom in Nevada - where the daytime
temperatures are above 100 degrees, where wind blows alkali dust, and where
almost anything can happen. There is nothing for sale during the event,
and everyone must bring all of their own food and water. No crowds, no lines.
Burningman is loneliness, friendship, sights, sounds, and moods. It is also
a wild party which can be viewed from the fringe or from the center. Mad art-cars
zooming about, lasers in the dust at night, music everywhere, wind, strangers,
friends and art. People spend tremendous amounts of time building 'stuff' to
display: costumes and camps, oasis with water falls, giant rocks that spin,
hearts that are filled at night with wood and glow red with the wood-burning-heat,
fire dancers, subtle and perverted or sublime and gentle. I rode around on a
bicycle a lot. Taking pictures with my two old Nikon's, not worrying about what
the blowing alkali dust was doing to them. All my pictures of people were taken
after I asked if I could take their picture....
