Playastudio
So I have lots of portraits from Burning Man. Over the next few days, maybe weeks, I'll be posting some, telling a story or two about their making and giving a little glimpse into the studio I brought onto the playa.
This kid was a "neighbor" who loved the bike jump our camp created. He must have taken it 200 hundred times over the course of the week. My studio was right next to the wooden ramp so I had to watch my back as he flew past. On the last day, he was covered in playa dust and for the first time acknowledged my request to make his portrait. This is the result. I have some others with the bike but something about this angle and gaze sticks with me.
Take pictures, jump bikes.

That's a beautiful picture and really captures a slice of the BM experience.
Ya that gaze of his is wonderfully captured. It is good to see you back, missed the updates. Will you ever divulge about the stressful photoshoot?
My most prized gift from BM was the necklace he gave us. It's hanging above my bed right now.
Wish I'd known you were going this year. Sorry I missed you man.
I love your portraits! I also went to BM for the first time in my life; wished I was there longer. If you have time, check my blog for a cool pic from BM. Hope to see many fantastic pics from your trip to India.
