"Launched" on Friday night. The Rocketship was a major art/performance piece at Burning Man 2009.

Art Piece Description:

The Raygun Gothic Rocketship is a rococo retro-futurist future-rustic vernacular between yesterday's tomorrow and the future that never was, a critical kitsch somewhere between The Moons of Mongo & Manga Nouveau.

Burning Man 2007

One of my favorite art pieces from this last year... This is what it looked like at sunrise.

view large and on black, PLEASE!! +++

A surprising, gnarly sand-twister came over the desert one day. I chased it for about three minutes. I know it sounds crazy, but they are actually fun get close too because the wind whips your bike around and you don't have to pedal... just kind of hang on for the ride with one hand, the other one taking photos!

I don't really know what this was. There was this duststorm, and I turned around, and this thing was just hovering there, and then it backfired and sped off! Smelled like diesel.

Last call.

A Phoenix rises... I was sorry not to get to see this one burn. That would have been a cool photo! #Burningman #Burningman2017 #blackrockcity

Check out this fun new art car! There are over 100 art cars out there... some big, some tiny, and some extra-tiny like this. Even better, this one takes photos! I meant to go for a ride in it, but I never saw it again :(

During our Burning Man photo walk, someone in the crowd was overcome by a beautiful sunset. She cried, watching the light on the black rock mountains. She cried so much, we all cried too. #Burningman #Burningman2017 #blackrockcity #burnergirls

In the middle of one afternoon, there was a big gay pride parade that went across the middle of the desert. I mean, I assume that it was a gay pride parade was going on. Maybe it was just a bunch of really fit dudes who have a shared hobby of colorful flags. I didn't ask but they seemed super happy for me to take photos. They seemed really happy in general. #Burningman #Burningman2017 #blackrockcity

The tree in the middle of the desert glowed all day and all night. One evening, there was a 70-piece orchestra here and a ballet where they performed The Rites of Spring. It's the first time I ever heard of a production like that at Burning Man. #treeoftenere

This is Hailey wandering around a little lost at her own camp one day. She tells me she's looking for two tickets this year, so if you have any ideas, contact her directly on her Insta (www.instagram.com/haileyoutland/ )

This year, the Thunderdome decided to be more inclusive, so they made sure that it was more sensitive to people that were not very tall. #thunderdome #Burningman #Burningman2017 #blackrockcity

Here's the first night at the DMV (Department of Mutant Vehicles) when the Monaco was getting approved for night-driving. All the art cars out there have to get two approvals; one for daytime driving and the other for nighttime driving.
