In Full Swing
By Thursday, most citizens of Black Rock City have arrived – the 'weekend warriors' have yet to descend - everyone's well-playafied (covered in dust) – vibes are high.
Turns out that I have more photos from Thursdays than most of the days preceding it. We'll see what I discover as we move towards the weekend, but I've had to break today's set into parts. I just have too many photos that feel significant to this ongoing story.
Hope y'all are enjoying this as much as I am!
The first four in this series can be viewed here:
- BM Retrospective – Preburn
- BM Retrospective – Sunday/Monday
- BM Retrospective – Tuesday
- BM Retrospective – Wednesday
For more context check the Burning Man website.

Look, my tribe on the other continent!
Amazing photographs Zipporah, always good to see that something's happening over the pond as well. One day I shall check BM out.
Grateful to know you recognize something of yourself in these images. You really should come experience this event for yourself. 🔥
Definitely. Can't wait to visit the American segment of the tribe, it's been calling me for a while and the European festival circuit will be different for me anyhow next year so it would be a great opportunity. New experiences on my favorite playground just across the pond with huge potential. I'm ready <3
Universe order placed as well <3
Much love!
these are really awesome photos, I never been, one day maybe but I think you have captured the spirit of BM really well, thanks for sharing these xxx too many good ones to have a favourite xx
your book looks amazing I have 3 daughters and honestly thought that BM was not the most child friendly gathering but looking at the preview of your book has changed my mind xxx
And that – is precisely why I wanted to create the book. I've been greatly disappointed by the widespread, public perception that Burning Man is nothing more than a debaucherous gathering of drug-addled partiers. It is a city – with as much depth and complexity as any city. There truly is something for everyone. :) Perhaps you'll bring your kiddos someday. ;)
Glad you enjoyed my photos. tip!

I feel like I'm st-st-stuttering. How embarrassing! This is how I learn that @tipu doesn't accept STEEM. Lesson learned! I'll just pop over to your blog and give you some love, 'cause I'm just a touch too late to upvote this lovely comment. ;)
Did I see a self portrait among the pictures? :-)
It's really incredible what gets built on the playa...
You win the golden star! There is absolutely a silly selfie in there, taken in this trippy mirror box in Center Camp. And...I agree – pretty damn incredible. :) tip!

Gah! Lousy way to discover that @tipu only works with SBD. There goes 7.5 STEEM! Hopefully they'll send that back to me....
Anywho...I'll find some other way to 'tip' ya as I was too late to upvote. ;)
