I finished off a roll in a Holga which had the last roll from Burning Man in it. I was waiting to get it developed, because I wanted to turn in at least more than a few rolls to the local shop, where I had a 30% off coupon.

Giant Medusa head. At night, it was lit up with multicolored lights and the snakes shot flames from their mouths.
The face was reflective, like a mirror.
Bus-based bouncy castle.
Accidental double exposure of Christina, the bus-boat, and the bouncy castle.
This was the best time I’ve had at Burning Man in years. Because of my emotional state, and my feelings about photography, and my abilities. Plus, I had some great opportunities to be at some great events. I was on the official documentation team, which meant a free ticket, car pass & early entry. I had a list of stuff to shoot, though of course I shot tons of my own stuff. But knowing that the organization would want more slick digital than arty film, I shot more digital than film. Still, I brought lots of film cameras, and shot with a Holga, a Canon SLR, a point & shoot, …shooting regular color, and some cross processed slide film. I like what I was getting with digital, but ultimately I know that the film shots will be the most rewarding.
