Nevada days

now it has cooled down to bearable temperatures I can get working on my darkroom again ... during the summer it was a cauldron in there ... now it is almost emptied of old files and endless junk from many generations of family memorablilia with no where else to go .... 
in the meantime I was asked to show 2 images at the Vista gallery in Rome Italy ... 2 "old professors" are winging their way over now , for a group show of black and white images...

    burning man .... 3

    the final moments of the giant Trojan horse ...
    he was wheeled out, dragged by the masses into the Playa in the dark night ... 
    and set alight after midnight, in a primal end to an insanely
    brilliant piece of art by Douglas Bevans.

    burning man .... 2

    kind of like living inside one of Leonardos notebooks...

     











    there is no food or water there you have to take everything with you and remove everything when you leave ....
    there is nothing to buy ...people just gift you things and you gift other people things ...

    from a cooling mist spray of water over you, to a necklace handmade, to a piece of one of the sculptures that were cut out during the making, to a massage .... its the most peaceful fun anarchic gathering


    of artists and like minded

    burning man

    black rock desert - nevada 



    somewhere between a Terry Gilliam set , Bladerunner, Monty Python, Priscilla Queen of the Desert and Mad Max..... on a massive alkaline dust plain ....

    outstanding ...
    4 days virtually no sleep ...brilliant new friends....too much to see and do 
    loved it !

    50 000 people on bikes , no road rules ...flowing like arterial blood and no one crashed into each other ... not a single garbage can and not a single piece of rubbish to be seen anywhere ...


    a good headspace ...
    i got to get me one of these ...

    camera has to go to hospital now
