People keep asking me if I took any pictures at burning man. I had forgotten that I did. This is the toilets at 135 and mainmast. Except a loving photo of my minivan, and a digital photo of my sunburned back so I could see where to put on sunscreen, it's the only photo I took.
After looking at my friend Dave's really nice pictures of burning man I questioned
my disinterest in taking photos at burning man. I don't give a shit about photography
at burning man, but why not? Well, I generally don't think there is anything
interesting there and worthy of a photo. I tell people, yeah, there's lots of
crazy shit going on but there's also tons of photographers running around capturing
it. Why do I need to do it also? But then I saw all the cool photos that Dave
took and I realized that it wasn't that I didn't want to take pictures of burning
man, its that I like to take pictures of things that aren't usually in photographs.
My beloved subjects are the ignored and the mundane that for some reason are
spectacular to me. So in a festival where everything is screaming for attention
and painted up like a gaudy whore, I see no photos.
voyeurs of the world, give something back!
