Here are my Burning Man 2017 Photos!

Burning Man 2017 was an incredible adventure and I’m very grateful to have been a part of it all.

  Hi Marlene! No matter how much anyone sees or does at Burning Man people tend to feel like they missed so much. I feel that way every year but learned to be ok with it. Happy Birthday btw. :)

My friend and fabulous close up magician, Tom Frank, Facebooked this too me. Thank you so much for sharing these! it really gives me a good idea of some of what goes on there. Your photos were beautiful and I really enjoyed them. You have made it even more of a bucket list must do. Now to get those costumes, boots and a warm fabulous coat together!
1. Duncan Rawlinson
  
  September 13, 2017
  
  Burning Man is not a bucket list item. It’s not a travel destination. Burning Man is what YOU make it. You are Burning Man. Do your research beforehand. If you go to Burning Man and treat it like a bucket list item you won’t get anything out of it. You have to contribute, volunteer, make art etc. It’s not something you consume, it’s something you create. The more work you put into it the better your experience will be. Email if you like, DuncanRawlinson@gmail.com and I can help indoctrinate you more lol.

  Thanks Philippe. I updated the post. It was nice to meet George this year. (I love your burn images by the way. The best architectural images I’ve seen. Thank you for your art.)

  Hi Jeff, The pictures are maybe 0.00000000001% as fun as actually being a part of Burning Man. But I’m glad you enjoyed the work. See you next year?!

Duncan,
Thank you for your wonderful work. I know it was fun too!
I am sorely missing my favorite city, and these images make me feel as though I’m back home.
The long exposure night shots are my favorite. Good job also with the fireworks and closeups of lovely burners.
It took me 3 days to get thru all the pictures. Now it’s time to dig thru 2016!
Hope to see you and your family next year. Come by Burning Sky or Root Pile!
Dusty Hugs,
Trippin

  Trippin, thanks so much for your help this year. I kind of failed to get good Burning Sky images but the firefly flight was a wonderful experience. Probably the most fun I had during the burn. Thank you so much. See you next year.

#083 is one of Reverbia Live Music Camp’s main stage structures, we call it the ’embassy’ and it is home to all day live music. Starting with yoga and meditation to live music in the early morning, followed by dance classes to live music, singer songwriter jams and various styles of bands and artists.

#428 is Reverbia’s frontage on the Esplanade, featuring two more of our main live music stages: The Radiance Dome (panelled with sound-reactive LEDs) and our Main Stage.

You caught all our venues but the Tea House on A street :)

Check out our 12-18 hour live music schedule next year — we’d love to have you!

I haven’t been able to get to the playa for a few years, so thanks for the great work.
It really brings me back. I miss my home.
I have an idea for an art installation and if I can get it funded I may make it out next year.

Peace

Thanks so much for sharing your work! Wonderful photos and moments. Photo #24 is my steampunk, junkyard, hardware store, time machine car; “Time Bandit!” The heat was incredible and much of my day was spent in the shade and not out shooting photos. There was so much to do, in a short amount of time, so I never thought about photographing my own car on the playa. Thanks again for all of the awesome photos!

WOW WOW WOW, you not only have an AMAZING eye but a knack for capturing images well.
I am
SOOO HAPPY to have discovered your album through pintrest. One of your multi color pics of the tree of Tènèrè are what lured me in.
I lost my camera the last day and all my pics so I was wondering if you minded if I used your pictures on my Facebook and just give you credit for them so I can show my friends some of the amazing things I saw while at BM?

One of the best galleries I’ve seen! Thank you! I have such a hard time explaining what Burning Man is to people. In the future, I’ll just give them this link and say: “This.”
Either you’re in or you’re not.

Amazing.

Duncan – image 500 correct that this is Electic Dandelions but you might add that is by Abram Santa Cruz ( http://liquidpxl.com).
As mentioned a while back, we brought a number of BurningMan artists to the Toronto Light Festival. Hope you made it or will before March 4 :-). If you can, pls contact me and I would be pleased to tour it with you. Note – Electric Dandelions is now on permanent display T The Distillery District in Toronto

Just another update you may want to include – image 050 is correctly identified as Reaching Through by Jessica Levine – http://www.jessicalevine.net. Reaching Through is on display at the Toronto Light Festival at The Distillery District until March 4
