Raygun Gothic Rocketship Blasts Off
Raygun Gothic Rocketship

In February of 2011, I was on the Embarcadero in San Francisco and spotted a beautiful, almost comic-book rocket ship that looked like it had landed straight out of a 1950's pulp sci-fi magazine. Yep, I was not hallucinating; there it was in all it's glory.
The Raygun Gothic Rocketship is the dream child of a team of Burning Man men, Sean Orlando, Nathaniel Taylor and David Shulman with lots and lots of help from "crew members".
Night before last I photographed the last night of its two-year visit on the Embarcadero and it brought back memories I have of Burning Man. (Another time for that.)
I'll let the photos I got that last night speak for themselves and the artists who did it, say it themselves. There are links to a lot of info following the pix.
