This time of year, every year I swoon and I wish I were in Black Rock City at Burning Man. It may be one of my biggest regrets....I never went. First, it was just sheer logistics and money and now my body could not, or would not tolerate the harsh environment.
Burning Man is an annual week-long experiment of radical self-expression. They create a temporary community in the middle of a Nevada dessert dedicated to anti-consumerism and creativity. The Burning Man art festival, which attracted more than 70,000 last year, always culminates with the burning of a large wooden sculpture of a man. I am now and suspect I always will be a pseudo burner, there in my heart and imagination watching the festival on its’ live feed and admiring the mind-blowing art installations from other’s photographs.
