Burning Man '05
9/30/2005 4:45 PM

I have about two hundred pictures to share with the worldhood of the world. They've been organized into seven vague categories which I will upload and caption over time.

I've also included links to a handful of image galleries that a few of my friends took.  Now get to work and email me with any corrections (I can be kinda sloppy when I'm captioning two-hundred odd images).


 Emily's Pictures  
 Bryan's Pictures  
 Spongemonkey's Pictures

  Robot Giraffe Walking

A 21 sec video of a walking robot giraffe.

Image Gallery: Highlights
Ten highlights from the event - these will get you started. Then check out the other 200 pictures to develop a better impression.
The Man, towering above. Andy and her parasol. Clockworks. Carrie, Sean and Andy, outside the Temple of Dreams. Matt (and Sarah) relaxing in my mutant boudoir. Colossus! Sean, stepping out of the orange room of seventy reflections. Me, at the bottom of the 24' climbable spire known as "Hypha". Burlesque escapees. The burning of the Temple.

Image Gallery: One - The Beginning
Departure from Minneapolis and some of the first day.
Pretty lights at night! Another quick stop somewhere boring for Taco Bell and gallons of water. Salt flats are way flat. Still. The boudoir on the trailer at some unknown gas station. Scott, surveying the landscape. He did an excellent job with the tie-down straps on our makeshift trailer.

Image Gallery: Two - The Art
It's an Art Festival, really.
The orange box with seventy reflections. Automatic Subconcious. I never did have the chance to check this place out. Cupcakes! These were the cutest. The Cutest. The BRBC - Black Rock Broadcasting Company - radio tower. Hot rod! The Clocktower.

Image Gallery: Three - The Man
The Man rose above a three level structure. The first level was a maze, on the second you could observer and interact with those in the maze and on the third level you could (at night) phsyically rotate the Man.
As seen from the Man: 6:00 (Center Camp, Colossus) Looking in the direction of twelve o'clock. The purple head is "Dreamer"; behind him some ways is the Temple of Dreams (pink spires); behind that is a white pyramid that never, as far as I know, came to fruition (each time we walked by it it sported an "under construction" sign; then on Thursday they just deflated it). Lots of pastel plywood. Circular reflection. A room full of True Mirrors (and the artist currently at work fixing one of them).

Image Gallery: Four - Playa Art
Me outside the Temple. Andy outside the Temple of Dreams. Way out, by the perimeter fence, were two guys dolling out vodka lemonades. They had some sort of biotech container that they were keeping pressurized with a bike pump. Delicious! Sarah!  Surprised! Giant giraffe car.

Image Gallery: Five - More Art
Art abounds; here's some more.
Thunderdome! It's kinda quiet during the day. "The Machine". I never got up in it and it never fully worked as intended. Apparently the top did rotate a bit (when people turned the turnstiles off to its sides); but the arms were never fully attached. Sk8 or Die! The expanse of the playa (note dust devil on left side). Those blue things house televisions which, I'm told, playing videos of people talking about their dreams. The mouth, I'm also told, is some kind of bed.

Image Gallery: Six - Fun Things To Do
Center camp & stuff at night.
Twin A making the noise go. Woa. Too many lights! Rhinos! Including Matt! Andy & Juggling Matt
See all 30 images.

Image Gallery: Seven - Final Day
Some more art, the Temple burns down and we all race home.
Andy, still hiding in the rocks.  I couldn't decide which side of the rocks looked better, so I kept both pictures. Spongemonkey, exiting the orange room with seventy reflections. The hyper-amazing robotic walking giraffe. Check out the full-motion AVI on a couple pages up. Matt & Sarah. A view of the Temple (et al) from atop the 24' Hypha.
