I just wrapped up production on the final video piece (The Burning Man Experience) for the Las Vegas Sun’s coverage of Burning Man. Shooting video in the dust is certainly a challenge. I think the deck on my XH-A1 is making some weird noises and needs a serious cleaning. Now, its on to the History of Las Vegas.

This year’s festival featured approx. 47,000 people from Las Vegas, the U.S. and the world, who all traveled to an ancient lakebed, known as the playa in the Northern Nevada Black Rock desert to build a temporary, all-encompassing community defined more by its spirit, art, and gifting than the normal constraints of daily life.

There is plenty of partying during the daytime hours of the six-day radical self-expressive event known as Burning Man — held annually in Nevada’s Black Rock Desert. But the pulse picks up even more when the sun goes down on the barren playa, as nearly 50,000 burners really start to play.

Be sure to check out the panoramas on the site also. This one is my favorite:
