Burner Portrait XII
On the way out of Black Rock City. We were heading in the opposite direction and also didn't have space for his bike. However, I have no doubt that he got home in no time.

The Chief
He asked, "Did you paint the van yourself?"
I said, "No I didn't."
I said, "I like your tattoo."
He said, "I'm a chief."
I said, "Oh, nice to meet you."
He grinned.
I asked, "Can I take your picture?"
He stuck out his tongue.
In the jungle of Maui
While driving around Maui I ran into these folks who told me they have lived at all kinds of places in the US and finally settled down in the jungle area.
Burner Portrait XI
Just returned from Burning Man. This time I'm posing myself. Should be legitimate as I'm a burner myself after all. Steffi (who is now also a burner) took this picture.At a crazy place like Black Rock City, it seemed nearly impossible to me to create any sort of attention by simply being dressed in a certain way. However, in a world where naked guys in tutus are a perfectly normal thing, a guy in a suit apparently becomes a head turner. I wasn't expecting this. Suddenly people followed me to talk to me or photograph me. By the time a hardcore looking burner stepped down his vehicle and kindly asked me to "slowly walk towards the camera" my Burning Man world was somewhat turned upside down. Shortly later I took this off, grabbed my camera and went back to business as 'usual'. More pictures will follow.
