Nice work Kien Lam.

Burning Man is a magical place. For those of you fortunate enough to be able to take 10 days off from work and spend enough money to send (at least) a dozen Ghanaian children to primary school for a year, I encourage you to go.

The Burning Man photo policy is understandable but insane and limits the general public's view of the burn to highly polished photos of freaks in tutus and art cars. I try to shoot the other side - friends in the same clothes they wear in the 'default world,' people who never leave camp and lots of good old fashion drug use and trouble. Heres a link to my flickr and a few aforementioned examples. All shot on Fuji disposables.

Burning Man is overwhelming and impossible to describe in one post. This is the first in a series many about this past year's gathering in the middle of the desert.
