I thought that I had lost about 600 of these photos in an act of blithering idiocy, but as it turned out I had just misplaced them on an external drive. (It was the fault of those trickster spirits from the eclipse on Monday night!)

Most of these photos I shot while riding my bike, one-handed, over sand, while intoxicated.

I keep telling myself that I'm going to post, at least a few, photos every day. But most days I never even touch my laptop. It seems to take about six hours for every batch of photos I publish, and I just don't have enough time in a 24 hour day, or weekends. Love parade… or fixing my file server?

This was a Burning Man work party, with the following agenda:
  • Construct small dome.
  • Paint flags.
  • Dress in silly costumes.
  • Soak in hot tub.
  • Celebrate Crowley Day (7/7/7).
  • Celebrate my birthday early.
  • Get bitten by venomous spider.
Ok, getting bitten by a venomous spider wasn't on my agenda, but it happened anyway.

More photos and stuff. Normally I write something relevant to the subject matter in these little blocks of text here, but I can't think of anything to say right now. Unfortunately I can only write brialliant LJ posts in my head while doing other things, like driving. The moment I sit down to write something I forget it all.

ZMOG, I can't believe I'm not in bed yet. Here's some more photos; I'm calling it a night. The way my schedule is looking it may be a while before I have time to post any more.

After leaving the playa, For some reason I was thinking that I hadn't taken many good pictures at all this year. I wasn't really paying very close attention to photography at all this year.

The Man Explodes
Many people look at my photos and go: Oooh! You must have a really good camera. And then I have to give my lecture about how it's not the camera, but the photographer that's responsible for the picture; And that a good photographer can take really good looking photos with anything.

The photo on the left here is one of the very few of mine where the camera actually made the difference. This is from a sequence of twelve frames, taken about 1/20s apart (I should make an animated .GIF of the fireball). I made some 1280x1024 crops of this frame, if you would like to use it as a desktop background or something.

So anyway, what did I do at Burning Man? What didn't I do? Quite a lot actually…
  • I didn't take pictures of anything silhouetted by the full-moon.
  • I didn't climb anything.
  • I didn't attend Paul Oakenfold.
  • I didn't see Crude Awakenings.
  • I didn't ride any art cars.
  • I didn't make it to Spike's.
  • I didn't go to any parties.
  • I didn't get drunk.
  • I didn't get set on fire.
In a way, I guess you could say that my experience has been rather limited…

I did get a lot of deep introspection done. My head is still processing everything.

So, I have full net access from the playa; I'm going to try to make daily posts about stuff, possibly just photos — which may stop working on my LJ within the next few days because arclight.net is moving to a new colo.

The weather is rather cool this year (only in the high 90F's) and it is also very windy. Night is also unexpectedly warm. The surface of the playa is very loose and crumbly this year. It's a little bit difficult to ride a bike over in spots — mostly the sand dunes, of which there are very many this year. We had several white-outs yesterday while setting up the tents.

There is a lunar eclipse tonight. I'm probably going to observe it by doing a mystical woo-woo ritual, and photographing it through my 500mm lens with the man in the frame. I think that the red of the moon will contrast the green man well. (This is a really hard shot to get right too, it has at least 9ev of dynamic range between the moon and the illuminated tent below the man)
