This is my annual gift to the Burning Man community.
All of my Burning Man images are licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial license. That just means if you share them you must attribute the photographs to me by name and link to Duncan.co Also that you can’t sell them.
The more time you spend at Burning Man the more you realize a fulfilling Burn is one where you just work your ass off for other Burners. That was the case here. I spent my burn making these photographs for you. I do this for the Burning Man community so this is a very loose edit. I shot just under 11000 photos this year.
If you know the name of a piece of art or have a better caption please comment at the very bottom of this post or email me and I’ll update it.
UPDATE:
Reddit user thefinn93 was kind enough to wget a bunch of files and move them to Mega and his server. If you want to download all the photos below at Full Resolution (~21GB of JPGs) you can try doing that with these links:

Thank You Dorothy
I would like to thank Dorothy for allowing me to come out to the burn. Dorothy was back at home looking after our daughter. Dorothy is also pregnant so it’s even more of a sacrifice to let me go. Thank you Dorothy!
More Thank Yous
I would also like to thank in no particular order Bryan + Claudia, Zac Cirivello (last seen changing a tire on a truck!), Laura Dane, Crimson Rose, Matt Schultz, Crunchie, Polaris, Drew, Alex, Sarge, Tracy, Sean, Wes, Alyssa, Tracey, Harold, Justin, Steve, Michael, Mathieu, Jair, Michelle, Sam, Gaspo, Tim, and Evandro, and my Dad.
Also, I’d like to take a minute to thank Scott London. Scott is by far my favourite Burning Man photographer. It was Scott’s photographs that inspired me to go to Burning Man in the first place. Scott and I finally had a chance to spend some time together IRL this year. Having been a huge fan of Scott’s work for years it was an honour and a pleasure to spend time with him. Even better to find out he’s a really great guy. After Scott and I met up we bumped into each other at different locations on the playa at least 7 times totally randomly. One time our paths literally crossed on bikes in motion. I’ve never had that happen with anyone else out there. Every time I ran into Scott he was hustling make his great images. Nice to know he has to really work hard at it too. If you’re reading this Scott, thank you. I appreciate the images and the work.
See you all next year.
Next year was better anyway!

Gorgeous photos! This is the first series I’ve seen that really conveys what it’s like to be there. Thank you!
Thank you for stopping by Dade.
Outstanding and in chono order…wow. The big red tapestry piece is RED by Mike Taluc, and the hotrod made of steel tubing is Mr. Fusion by Henry Chang. Thank you!!!
Thanks I think I have updated the post correctly. Let me know if not.
Wow! Thank you for this wonderful gift. You have an amazing talent to be able to capture so much beauty in a place that can be so harsh and challenging. And you certainly did get around… that’s another great gift… being able to see so much that I had missed. Again, thank you!
Thanks Stroker. I really worked hard at it.

Thank you Brian and Duncan, for sharing your burn with the world and us in it!
I was going to mention that aside from Scott London’s annual album, yours is another most comprehensive one I’ve seen and then I read he was your inspiration :) Sweet!! Do you have an FB page for a more direct crediting there as most of my sharing is on there?
Grateful to you also for your generosity of truly gifting to your subjects/the community, by making available the full-resolution originals for downloading, so few offer this! A true gift indeed!
Appreciating too that in this case, crediting is even more important as it is becoming information sharing, I would like to add a bit more context info to the 2 you caught of me, the very reason why I was in that Red Lantern wearable sculpture (image 33 & 34 if not miscounted, 1st 2 links commented by my husband Brian Krawitz, earlier today):

Will check out the previous years to see if we’ve been lucky enough to run into you! Deepest appreciations again!!
Thanks I think I have updated the post correctly. Let me know.
Thank you for doing this. I had planned on numbering each photo and making a link to each photo. Maybe when I get home I’ll do that. For now thank you for taking the time to help me clean things up around here. :P

Duncan – AMAZING pics. Such an amazing gift. So glad we got to meet and host you for a bit at PANORAMA. Thank you and dusty hugs – Courtney Cox
PS – for the picture you labeled “Can’t remember exactly but on the 10 side somewhere (if you know comment at the bottom of this page please)” – you can see PANORAMA in the upper left hand corner. We were at 7:30 & H to help orient the picture.
It was a pleasure to meet you! Thanks for making the Panorama. Love that place.
These are amazing. I love them. Thank you what an awesome project and dedication and gift. It was my first burn and it was magical.
The blue toothbrush disco ball found under the Man was a project by Scott London from 2015 built by crew of artists Eugene Livshen
Yarrow Mazzetti and Justin Hysell.
It is entitled “Revitalize”
Thank you.
Photo after “Matt lost his whale”, the one you know the name of but can’t retrieve….it’s the C.S. Tere (Clock Ship Tere) by Andy Tibbetts, who can be seen on the upper deck at the helm. Thanks for another year of great pictures of everything, Claire ( LNT Lead, Space Whale and Boatswain, C.S. Tere)
Thanks updated!
Oid is by Michael Christian, a prolific Burning Man artist. You definitely have seen other pieces by him – always wonderful, inspiring, large format installations. Cheers, thanks for sharing all the great photos. Can we go back now?
“Burner Walking Into The Sunrise (name unknown)” is the “Dust Demon” performance art piece by Kevin Wagter:

Spent almost an hour looking at these. Wow!
Such great photos. I’m happy that the photo you took that “scares you” has my mutant vehicle in it — The Boob Tube (drivable TV). Thank you!
The pirate ship is the Monaco, not the Monica :)
Oops!
Thank you. The photos touched my soul and helped me remember why I cried when I had to leave. My strongest emotional memory is of gratitude to you all for creating the beauty and you were a part if it.
My pleasure.
The mutant vehicle pictured after Evandro and his girlfriend is “The Gru” by David Shields.
i know at least one of the people you don’t have labeled. closer to the top, you have one of a man in a hat that you said was a nice guy you talked to in center camp. his name is Ira, and i know his playa name is Tubaluba. he’s from Camp AHHEEEEEE! (possibly misspelled)
you also have a photo up closed to the top of man with a blue mohawk (shaved sided) wearing a green bandana around his neck. he’s from the Elvis Wedding Chapel camp (he’s the Elvis-styled Minister), but i can’t recall his name right now. if i find/remember it i’ll get back to you.
also, the people who ran the great chinese dragon/foo dog art car (blue & pink car) were right down the street from us. lovely people. i’ll try to find the name of their camp and car and get it to you as well.
GREAT PHOTOS!
UPDATE: the people who ran the great chinese dragon/foo dog art car was SUGAR BITCHES. just found it : )
Thank you. I will update the post now!
I finally got through all of these. Sorry for such a delay, but they are all wonderful.
Thanks so much for sharing all of these!
Thanks very much.
Thanks for doing what you do! And capturing what we do! (Hippocampus & Hippocampbus). Epic gallery!
Thanks. I work really hard on it.
In 2016 I lost my virgin status and I loved every second of it. I also love your incredibly huge gallery, it reminds me of that time in the playa unlike others I have seen.
A lot happened during that week last year, and nostalgia is overwhelming, but I am glad that, even if I can get somewhat emotional while looking at your pictures, I can have a slice of the past and be transported again to DaVinci’s workshop.
A friend asked what Burning Man was and, to explain my experience, I wrote him a lengthy PDF that included many pictures. I used some of yours for that and placed a link to your gallery. It should give occupy him for a long time. Thank you for posting this and allowing me to travel back and take my friends with me.
wow, such beautiful pictures! please keep up this amazing hard work, i love it! sending you much love and gratitude, and a pineapple ????
