#communaleffort Earlier I posted a close up photo of the The #templeofdirection at #burningman by Geordie Van Der Bosch. However I wanted to tell this story of the community helping me stay safe. As I decided to switch to a wider lens on some #wind came up and a few #vortexes formed. Sparks started flying in the air. However they were not small sparks. They may look like that from hundreds of feet away. But up close some are large embers some up to 6 inches long and 3 inches wide. many if these burning #embers were flung into the air by those winds and vortexes. just as I was getting ready to shoot the photo i shot a test shot (this photo) to check light and metering, I was preparing to take a wide format photo of the temple with the structure in clear view (not covered by smoke like this shot). just as I am about to take the photo, A 6 inch burning ember lands on me and gets lodged between my camera bag, on my back, and my neck. It burned through the bag and several layers of clothes. @malcomcarterfilmmaker and other film makers dropped everything they were doing and jumped on me to get the backpack off of me and started getting the broken embers out of my clothing. It burned holes all the way through the clothes and bag, but thanks to the others around me that dropped everything, (missing key shots for the projects they were filming) to help out a human out and out their projects down. I can’t even begin to thank them enough. They missed key moments for their content, but due to their help I escaped with some blisters covering my neck and back, but not much more. This could have gone horribly worse had the community not jumped into action. Thank you. @templeofdirection @burningman @burningmanphotos #fire #tornado #dustdevil #burn (at Burning Man) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3H6h4knsik/?igshid=105j9nf7gypg5

I think it's safe to say that before going to #BurningMan I had a very skewed understanding of what it was really about. Yes it's a festival of sorts, there are non stop parties, it's wild and over the top in many ways... but in its essence and at its best it can teach us what our societies could actually look like. . The Ten Principles of Burning Man represent a core structure that when heeded create a temporary existence many of us envision for our own worlds. . #RadicalInclusion #Gifting #Decommodification #RadicalSelfReliance #RadicalSelfExpression #CommunalEffort #CivicResponsibility #LeavingNoTrace #Participation #Immediacy . #BurningMan2017 (at Black Rock City)

Honored to have @burningman post my photos of our camp @playalchemist this year. The camp was made possible buy every single person who came and gave their spirit, effort and generosity to create it. However a few very special people have to be mentioned. This small group of people are responsible for the ideation and execution of the camp. A huge huge huge Thank you @kho19 @christopherkrywulak @igall99 for bringing the camp into existence. Thank you for day time programming @satyakamdar Night time programming @shishibabylon The multimedia team @eugenelopin @akact Aza @adrenorama Again, I could go on and on and list every single camp member. Without all of them it would not have been built or exist. Thank you everyone. After opening the grand pyramid with a blessing from the elders (photo in the slide show) , the camp featured over 22 hours of programming each day, including activities to acculturate, push your comfort zone, tap into deeper emotions, and transfer the experiences on playa into the default world. The pyramid also featured projection mapping created by @thelightharvest from submissions from artists around the world. | #burningman #blackrockcity #brc #thankslarry #10principles #participation #communaleffort (at Burning Man) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3DYY5LHCdy/?igshid=14jsya9wz7fq

T.A.R.P.s -- in Edmonton's new semi tropical stylings, these FREE construction tarps just needed a bit of tie wire and time to be sewn into our rain cover. Go team, this slightly unglamorous task is essential to our operations - gracias! #yeggreenship #teamwork #communaleffort #freetarps #casalarisa
