Burning Man 2019 Photos
My complete set of photos from Burning Man 2019 can be seen here. Below are a few samples.
First morning on the playa, just before sunrise. You can see the moon about to set to the right. Klank is camped in the larger trailer and I'm in the Scamp.
Looking the other way, toward what will be Black Rock City.
How I stabilized my shade structure. It worked perfectly. The shade structure stood there for three weeks and wasn't damaged in any way. That sphere is a light, not any part of the stabilization.
Box Office still under construction.
DPW (Department of Public Works) putting up the shade structure in front of Box Office.
Early in the construction of the Temple of Direction.
The Man viewed along the 3 O'Clock road.
A week after I got there, some neighbors had begun to move in.
Fomogenesis Camp's shade structure.
Fomogenesis Camp during setup.
Segways with shiny decorations.
The 747 was there for its, presumably, last time. It's been sold to someone in Las Vegas.
Burner Buddies on the corner of 4:30 and J.
An official map showing the locations of all theme camps. (Full size image here.)
David and his sister Nancy. David sold his Scamp to me after last year's Burn.
A history of the temples displayed at the Temple of Direction.
