BURNING MAN, Perfect for a Camera

     It's not uncommon to hear photographers say, "I took 2000 pictures at Burning Man".  Amazing things -and amazing people- surround you during the eight-day desert festival.
      Here are portraits I took of a few Burners. Their wearable art was a big part of the show.
      Taking these shots? Generally I'd say "hello" and ask permission. Not so much for the sleepers.
