![]() ![]() Highly Recommended: "A fabulous collection of images revealing of a very special kind of 'artistic expression' at the turn of every page." In one word, as it regards photo books in general, and the photo books about Burning Man, Drama in the Desert is without peer. Also, for those who have attended, and wanted to have something, anything, to try and help communicate what it is like, this is it. If you HAVE been there, this book may bring both tears to your eyes (from rememberances that affect you so deeply) and laughter to your lips. If you have heard about Burning Man, have read about it, seen a few photo's and have wondered what it is like, and have not yet attended, this book will bring you closer than any other. Next, when you have settled enough, after paging through to see these captured moments of manifested thoughts, the text goes deeper, touching the heart. And the subject(s) of the images look surreal, hyper-real, and dream-like, pulling you into the pages, so that even if just for a moment, your imagination (or memory, if you have been there) allows you to BE there. Next, the attention is drawn into the book, transporting you to this place, this city, which exists for only 7 days once a year. ![]() ![]() The first aspect of it that grabs the eye is the quality of the printing and construction. From my initial handling of this work, it was obvious that this was no ordinary photo book. ![]()
