Groups set up special camps with different themes. Here I am inside the "Black Lodge" from Twin Peaks (I'm a fan). It was modeled after the Red Room. I sat in it for many hours, listening to music and looking out this opening. This is one of the many photos I captured. - Trey Ratcliff | Stuck In Customs

In the middle of the city is a vast expanse of desert where anyone can set up art pieces. Here, a small booth offering advice was erected. I sat down for a moment and they said I was beyond help.

Near my camp, a burner walks near the radio tower of Babel.

Every evening, a group of lamplighters walk through Black Rock City, hanging lanterns atop tall poles to keep the pathways lit for other travelers.

Steampunk at Burning Man

Everyone at Burning Man is in costume all the time. That's about 50,000 people at a week-long costume party that becomes pretty intense. On the night of the actual burn of the tower (which you can see in the background), there was a little gathering of steampunk players toward the inner ring. One of the girls saw me taking photos, and came over to compare goggles for a bit. I grabbed this one of her just before it was time to return to her party.

I've processed many photos from Burning Man. It was an amazing time, and I took a different approach. I did the usual HDR style on a few, but I also experimented quite a bit. I'll share some of this in an upcoming post -- I'm aiming to get them up sometime this week if I can!

Dragon in the Fire
I don't use my "big" camera too much out in the desert because of the sandstorms... So I've been using this little Olympus PEN camera from time to time, and I like the results. Of course, I do a bit more post-processing and this sort of thing... but I'm happy with the results generally from this new line of cameras.

At Burning Man, there are hundreds of unique vehicles that roll around the desert during all times of the day and night. It's a feast for the eyes and the camera! :)
