Burning Man ~ 20 years on

Burning Man ticket - 2003

I can't believe it's been just a little over twenty years since my experience with the Burning Man!

The news coverage ot this year's event with the reportage of the flooding that occurred sent me back to that time in 2003.

Mine was the usual dry and dusty event everyone has had the "pleasure" of "knowing" (in every sense of the word)! The links to the articles and videos below tell it all.

It was ten years ago today, August 28, 2003, that I left to experience the Burning Man phenomenon for the first time. A truly mind-boggling event I'll remember the rest of my life. It was an amazing investigation of art, social interaction and madness. The camp I was with was called, "Fast Furnishings"; we were on Evidence between Literal and Faith (see map).

The photos I'm showing were shot with my first digital camera, a non-high tech "point 'n shoot". An experiment gone right.

Below are links to a selection of some
