Artist's Comments

Shot during a duststorm at Burning Man 2007.

-------

OMG! A Daily Deviation! Thank you so much! What else can I say about this shot? The dust storm had been raging for about an hour... I had been wandering around in the desert, hopelessly lost somewhere between the Man [link] and the Big Rig Jig [link] ... I didn't fear the storm though, and instead decided to embrace it, taking whatever photos I could. I found these two and they posed for me in what ended up being probably my favourite image from the entire festival.

Just for perspective, this is my favourite shot from the 2006 Burning Man: [link]

Daily Deviation

Given 2008-11-27

Duststorm Romance by *hoshq is one of the great pictures that can come to life every year in the Burning Man event. - "Once a year, tens of thousands of participants gather to create Black Rock City in Nevada's Black Rock Desert, dedicated to community, art, self-expression, and self-reliance. They depart one week later, having left no trace whatsoever." That's Burning Man (according to the website). - I believe this picture depicts its spirit very well! :) (Featured by `Helewidis)

This is a great shot, not only for the framing, angle and lens (fish-eye?) but for the context of it. A natural event which would normally call an end to any kind of photography, a dust-storm, and this picture just says 'it's business as usual', just slap on a face mask and carry on as normal.

A well captured moment, nicely done!

I love how disproportionate the angle makes them. Such large upper bodies, and short legs hidden behind her skirt. I like how she maintains an almost sexy feeling with her pose, which gives a sort of cocky ego feel to the man next to her. Like a trophy wife. Defiantly favourited.

It's probably my favourite shot from the entire week.
