Burningman

The 1997 Man

Once a year the Artists Republic of Fremont likes to shift its focus away from the trolls for a short time and cast its gaze to the desert and visit with another solitary figure. Every year over the Labor Day weekend we like to meet with tens of thousands of other people in the vast open expanses of Nevada to visit the Black Rock Desert.
