The Glowing Bridge at the TempleThe “Temple” is different every year, and it’s always fun to explore. I usually visit the temple several times before I decide to take photos. It’s fun to show up on the scene completely green and study all the angles and ideas around different compositions with different lighting conditions.- Trey RatcliffRead the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
LOVE Here's another wonderful morning (or night?) scene from Burning Man. I should remember if this is morning or night! Hmmm... Let's see... the sun is over there... and... well I think it is in that position in the morning. But then again, I'm awake... and I didn't make it through many mornings there. I remember Cliff banging on the door of my RV vaguely one morning, but I slept right through that sunrise, like many others... And maybe this is one of those. Or maybe it's sunset. Oh I don't know... anyway, it's kind of awesome, either way.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the entire post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
A storm of sands. It comes to remind you of events that happen while you are busy living, and you ride alone through too many of them. And truly, in the middle of the storm, there is nothing else but the storm. It ebbs and flows and abates and gives shape and form to others. And then it dies down and falls away, like a strange dream whose haunting fabric falls away the longer you are awake.
Tattooed Girl with Umbrella One hard thing about Burning Man is not "getting used to" everything around you. Believe it or not, after a few days, seeing interesting people wearing crazy clothes and doing wonderful things becomes quite commonplace. It's kind of like living inside a non-stop Cirque-de-soleil!I was riding by on my bike and there was another photographer taking photos of this girl. He had just finished, so I swooped in, jumped off my bike, and took a quick photo. I felt a little bad about jumping in at the end of his photoshoot, but I figured that the Burning-Man-chill-attitude would make everything okay... and I think it did!- Trey RatcliffRead the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Man Burns I was able to get up on a crane during the main event at Burning Man. Before I got on, they made 100% sure (and then double-checked) that everyone had gone to the bathroom. Once you are up on the crane, you're up there for two hours. I can only assume the crane operator was very serious about this because the worst-possible situation had occurred during an earlier Burning Man when he was at ground-level.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of the post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Neo-Gypsy in the Desert I was walking across the playa at Burning Man with Tom when we came across this gypsy of sorts. She was kind of dancing through the desert eating a bag of chips. That was surreal and everything, but then it felt even stranger when she pulled out her iPhone to make a few notes about our meeting. She typed in stuckincustoms.com so she would be sure to visit when she got back to civilization.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Charon crosses the river Styx, ferrying a lost soul into the beyond, forever. This is where the souls go that have no hope, the endless void. Travelers come and pull and twist and spin and see the strobes alight upon the skeleton bones. The neck tilts and the head bows in a deathly pose, a skinless grimace pulls back a macabre grin of hate; the hate of a man who dies alone, between worlds of understanding.
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! :) - Trey Ratcliff Read more here at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Dock in the Desert Here is a new photo from the most recent Burning Man.The playa is covered with endless artistic creations — every year new and fresh. This was a strange but inspired idea to build a dock that slowly rises out of the desert. It attracted all sorts of strange characters and activity.I didn’t take out my main camera too much because of the sand problem, but I did for this occasion. This was a standard 5-exposure HDR with some cleanup to fix the problem of movement between frames.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
