Grace 100 Strangers 20/100
Burning Man 2019
One morning I was out cruising the playa looking for subjects to photograph. I had a great morning, and was heading back to my camp to get some breakfast. Thats when I spotted Grace. I asked her if she would be interested in doing an impromptu shot on the playa. Without any noticeable hesitation she agreed. We took a few pics and that’s when I asked her if she would be up for going to a nearby location. She agreed and we were off on our bikes.
This is one of my favorites from that shoot.
Grace is a 9 time burner from San Francisco. She is originally from Orange County Ca. When she goes back to the “default” world, she works in marketing and is also a fitness instructor.
Later that evening we meet up again near “The Man”, and did another photoshoot.
Burning Man is a one week community that meets every year in the Black Rock desert. About 70,000 people attend. People tend to “gift” things to each other, no buying or selling while we are at the burn. No advertising of products, a total “decommodification” of life on the outside.
Larry Harvey the founder put it this way “Communities are not produced by sentiment. They grow out of shared struggle.
