"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.

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!

A view of Cubatron at Burning Man 2007 - powered by solar power collected during the day on the playa. I spent the most amount of time at this art installation, and this shot is the result of my passing the time by experimenting with trying to photograph it. It's fascinating to watch up close, or far away. On the last evening, I was winding down my week at Cubatron, when a random stranger comes up, hugs me and offers me a pair of 3D glasses that intensified the experience tenfold.

"The BRC is the world's largest 3-dimensional full color dynamic light sculpture. It is an array of lights 40 feet in diameter and 10 feet high. It consists of 28 spokes, each of which is 24 lights wide by 9 lights high. Each light is independently controllable to display any color and brightness level and the entire display can be updated 50 times per second. There are 6048 total lights (28 * 24 * 9) made of 18,144 LEDs."

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

It was another great year out there... it was very exhausting out in the sun all afternoon, though. But still glad I got out there as much as possible to take photos. I still have tons more to process, but enjoying going through them. #burnergirls #Burningman #Burningman2017 #blackrockcity

What an AMAZING PHOTO WALK! Thanks again for coming out. How lucky were we to have that light? And then some F-14s flew over us, we saw a girl on drugs crying at the sunset, man, pretty much everything happened. Here's a link to our photo walk event on FB where people are just now starting to post photos: www.facebook.com/events/193542101184038/ #Burningman #Burningman2017 #blackrockcity

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 guy's bike got run over or something? It was in 2 pieces when he brought it in, so he had to fill out 2 damage tags. I think Skunk took it on for the challenge - fabricating a whole new section of frame that's probably stronger then what was there, and is certainly cooler-looking.

Just the accessory this guy's look needed.

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
