Burning Man 2005 Photos
Been to Mardi Gras? Been to Halloween in the Castro district? Think you've seen it all? If you haven't been to Burning Man, you need to get a new set of friends. Really. You need to go to Burning Man. Trust me on this one.
I shot eleven hundred images over four days in the Black Rock Desert of Nevada. These images were captured using a Canon EOS-20D with a Canon 17-85mm telescopic zoom lens, a circular polarizing filter, and a 4 gig Sandisk CF memory stick. All images were shot in natural light and have not been retouched or edited in any manner. Nighttime images were shot on a Bogen tripod with pistol grip and remote shutter release.
This slideshow is a 7 Meg self-playing executable named burn.exe created using Imagematics StillMotion PE Plus. The soundtrack is Mr. Brightside by The Killers.

Mr Brightside Lyrics
by The Killers
I'm coming out of my cage
And I’ve been doing just fine
Gotta gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Now I’m falling asleep
And she’s calling a cab
While he’s having a smoke
And she’s taking a drag
Now they’re going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it’s all in my head
But she’s touching his—chest
Now, he takes off her dress
Now, let me go
I just can’t look its killing me
And taking control
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it’s just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
‘Cause I’m Mr Brightside
I’m coming out of my cage
And I’ve been doing just fine
Gotta gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Now I’m falling asleep
And she’s calling a cab
While he’s having a smoke
And she’s taking a drag
Now they’re going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it’s all in my head
But she’s touching his—chest
Now, he takes off her dress
Now, let me go
I just can’t look its killing me
And taking control
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibi
But it’s just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
‘Cause I’m Mr Brightside
I never...
I never...
I never...
