    I couldn’t make it to Burning Man this year. I may never be able to get there. So, I held my own burn instead. Enjoy…

    I agree with Nate, the boom, BOOM, BOOOOOM when they burnt the man was awesome. (that;s the fireworks then blowing it up on the third one) I was sitting at the front and it knocked me back. Running right after to the man was the best experience of my life! Thanks to all at Burning man, I’ll be back next year.

    actually the best fireworks ever were on friday night before the Trojan Horse burn, the fireworks display on saturday when the man burned paled in comparison

    Incredible Burn. My God, I felt like a little kid seeing fireworks for the first time!
    So much more satisfying than 2010′s quick fall.
    God, I LOVE Burning Man.

    Hey, Grant! I Love that gigapan. I’m glad you did it — I’ve always wanted to shoot the burn from above and outside the city at uber-high rez.

    the magic, the mystery, the explosions. every bit fantastic. holding the torch. watching him tell his story through our eyes. with family. running and laughing. the cleansing and renewal of spirit. i’m glad u had a camera to capture that moment we all had together. thank you

    [...] aboard the Crystal Ship on Burn Night, we say “Happy new year” to each other. What else can one say while the Man is burning? It’s the zero point. Reset the clock. The Man burns in 365 days. [...]
