Watching The Man Burn

Here is a photograph I shot of Larry (and friends) at the 2017 Man Burn. Larry’s brother Stewart wrote the following: “These days when we go out to witness the Burning of the Man, I often wonder how he felt in recent years about this noisy and grandiose spectacle. He was proud of course, especially of the progression of international, Regional Burns that reflect his famous Ten Principles, but I rarely saw an expression of what appears to be satisfaction. In many ways it was the same expression that was on his face when I photographed him as he was staring at the vast Columbia River back in the ’70s. It seems to me to be mixture of curiosity and expectation, as if there’s something more just beyond the flames for him to discover and to bring home to show us all.” RIP Larry (and dusty hugs to the entire Burning Man community)
