As I saw posts on social media from people going to Burning Man next week, I realized that I hadn't gotten through all of my photos from the last time I went, in 2012. Between the heat, the dust and the darkness, the conditions can be challenging for photography, but with hundreds of works of art and mutant vehicles, it's a hotbed of creativity and a riot of color.
In spite of a ban on commercial activity within the event, estimates on the economic impact on Northern Nevada alone ranged from $35 – 44M in 2012 (not including participants' preparations at home). Home Depot, Wal-Mart and many other retail establishments get cleaned out this week, selling building and camping supplies and groceries.

+Pam Boling I'd love to go back, but have been too busy. Last year I was finishing the book. At the moment I have to get it sold (although I'd probably go if a ticket dropped in my lap). Maybe next year!
+John Getchel If it's not the heat, or the dust, some years rain and mud is an issue. This year apparently it's a massive infestation of bugs!
It's hard to beat that constant state of amazement you feel at all of the creative, intricate, kinetic, interactive, and sometimes just plain bizarre things that people come up with. I hope that I have opportunities to return in the future.
Are you going to meet up with +Trey Ratcliff?
