Illumination, Navigation, and Celebration are the gifts of Burningman Lamplighter Camp I was part of, and so I mirror these in my post-burn writings. Illumination holds some of the greater-humanity experiences shared on the playa.  Navigation shares the oddities and facts of Black Rock City and the Burningman organization.  Celebration is my own personal flavor and experiences during the week I spent in the desert.

“…the difference between being “nowhere” and being “now here” is just a pause and a deep breath.”

Illumination holds the glow of my experience from the perspective of humanity and is on ElephantJournal so give them some love and read it there! Comment, discuss, yell, scream, do backflips.  Waylon already started quite a discussion via a link right in my post about why he will never go to burningman. So let’s get it started!  What do you think?  Have you been to burningman?  How many times? Why did you go?  If not, why not?  Would you go?

A stop-motion video I took Friday Morning at sunrise.  A photo every 15 seconds for 45 minutes looking east toward Lady Bliss from The Man.

The complete set of photos  can be seen here.  Take your time, enjoy, there are about 200 of them.
