May 4, 2008 - At the Maker Faire in San Mateo, an event that is part off-season warm up for Burning Man and all DIY'ers. The Flaming Lotus Girls do sculptures featuring lots of fire, but evidently you don't have to be female to be one of the girls.
Update 5/8 - Used on the Flaming Lotus Girls blog! Thank you!
strobist info: Okay, I got lucky here. Exposed for the sky and filled with the on-camera flash.
The Animus Art Collective’s installation, Flaming Cactus, transforms ordinary streetscapes through the use of vibrantly colored zip ties affixed to street poles. Originally installed at FIGMENT 2011 on Governors Island, the installation brought its playful energy and whimsy to Astor Place in Manhattan.
The zip ties, once wrapped and locked around the street poles, have tails of excess material. These tails create the effect of cactus needles sprouting from the trunk of the street poles.
In an interview for the Figment Project, Animus co-founder, Preston Dane said, “Our hope is to show that adding art to a community or space doesn’t require a lot of resources, formal education, or even money. Creativity is something we’re all capable of.”

I'd save all my trash and burn them in the big urinal in the old locker room that I would camp in while working on this project, which led to the flaming urinal series.
The Flaming Canopy, a steampunk nouveau tour de force, was hand built by Greg Jones to compliment the look and feel of the Case Traction Engine. Greg began from the ground up, by researching 200 years of steam canopy technology, on engines ranging from locomotives to early agricultural gins. Initial whiteboard ideas developed into sketches, and then to detailed hand inked architectural designs, before evolving onto the computer and into complex CAD blueprints and exploded construction diagrams. The Canopy was modeled in 3-D by Greg, and virtually tested for structural integrity, tensile strength, pre-build fit, and aesthetic beauty. The final product is envisioned as The Canopy the Engine would have come with, if only it could have! And really, who can argue? What farmer wouldn't want such an ornate, organic, flowing roof over his/her head; a roof that recalls both the streamlined, undulating modernity brought by steam power as well as the more organic promise of the field's rich furrows.
The Canopy measures approximately 6' wide x 10' long. It is plumbed for propane, which is emitted from ten evenly spaced jets (five per side), and lit by hand.

My tablescrap contribution to NNovvember. I had to keep the brightness down in order to keep the pieces looking translucent, so the photo itself is not very good. This thing looks a lot cooler in real life, and is highly swooshable :P

7 Days of Shooting; White; Mono Monday
A snap from the Flaming Lips gig I went to a while back. I went to the trouble of sneaking in my 40d, but then couldn't be bothered to squeeze to the front to try and get something good... so crowd shots is what I wound up with... still I quite like this one.
By the way, there was more on stage than a truck-load of bright white light...
