Rising From The Dust

Describing Burning Man in words is damn near impossible.

One simply cannot convey the surreality of being there – there is no word to accurately portray the scale of it – nor the strangeness of being caught in a white-out, becoming momentarily incapable of navigating, then seeing The Temple or The Man or other, large scale art installations rising from the dust.

Though words may fail me, thankfully, I can let my photos speak for me.

As harsh as the environment is, there is also a palpable softness to it – a quality unlike anything else I've experienced in all my worldly travels.

My imagery celebrates that lesser known side of Burning Man.
