Building Bliss Dance: Burning Man 2010
This is a reprocessed version of the image originally published on 8/24/2010 titled "work in progress" and posted here: www.flickr.com/photos/michaelholden/4926909884.
We all know that work in progress to be Marco Cochrane's Bliss Dance, but that morning as I rode my bike across the almost totally empty playa all I saw was one huge, mysterious and engimatic headless work in progress. I captioned it "Homesick yet?" and by and large the answer was hell yes.
We're just past the Burnal Equinox. In 182 days, the Rites of Passage will be behind us, and we'll be picking playa out of everything and still carrying our camelbaks with us whenever we leave the house.
So again, I ask: Homesick yet?
(HDR image, four exposures shot between 1/3rd and 1/25th of a second, iso 100, f22. This one uses my new low-noise process and has been retouched to remove the roughly six hundred bits of dust on my lens that morning. Thanks to Nutmeg Alfredo for giving me reason to hack at this some more, and thanks to y'all for digin' it so much!)
