Light Painting

This is the good work of Molly, using sparklers. The first sparkler burned off after "BURNING", so she used another one for "MAN". We did only one take (we had only 2 sparklers!), and the result was close to perfect!

And yes, the fact that the full-moon makes the dot on the "i" is pure luck! :)

Exposure time: 59 sec.

Giant Table and Chairs

This is Brobdingnag, by InterArte.

From the Burning Man website: Brobdingnag is one of the countries Gulliver visited during his travels. It is the land of the giants. We want to recreate the situation of traveling to a foreign place where one has to reconstruct his ideas and thoughts of what is reality, how are things and objects really and how they appear.

The sensation of being thrown off balance by the striking discrepancies in the scale of this setting is an invitation for people to think about existing structures in the default world

Rainbow colored chicks at the bird market (Yogyakarta, Indonesia)

Here is how to make colored chicks: Take 3-day old chicks (youger chicks would not survive the treatment, from what i heard). Plunge them into a color dye bath. The chicks are then sold as a live toy for children, for a few thousand Rupiahs a piece (less that 1 dollar), and kids love it. Not sure that the chicks appreciate the treatment, but they don't seem to care much.

Of course the light-yellow one has not been colored (they naturally come in this shade!)

Colored Chicks are apparently very popular in Indonesia, I have seen them at several village markets around the country.
