      Near perfect capture of the magic AB moments . Thank you and please come back every year.

        Thanks. I would love to. It’s expensive and very hard to get to from where I live in Canada though! It took ~35 hours of travel to get home not including the drive to Cape Town…

    A lot of the things I saw you shot from the best possible angle! And then you caught me in exactly the moment, when I walked on the ‘catwalk’ in my Testival suit. Thanks for your work!

      I loved your suit. I wanted to use it’s test pattern to calibrate something. Glad you enjoyed the photos.

    I love the pictures at night with the stars in the sky! When I go to Black Rock City one thing I always do is go to the deep Playa at night and kick back, let my eyes adjust to the dark and be amazed by all of the stars that appear! Then when I get back to Seattle….

      I was not prepared for how majestic the stars would be. In that it was a wonderful surprise and I didn’t have the right photography gear to shoot it properly. Oh well, maybe next year I’ll be ready. If I can go that is.

    I love what you did! I’ve always wanted to go back to Burning Man. This makes me want to go to Afrikaburn. Your series of magical pictures make me feel like I’m there already! Thanks universe for your soul!
