THE PEOPLE I MEET AT BURNING MAN

The Black Rock Desert is such a special place to me. You show up at this empty canvas and with 70 thousand strangers you create the most beautiful art and connections you could ever imagine. It's surreal. I keep asking myself why I keep coming to Burning Man. It's the dust? It's the heat? Haha. Nah. It's the people. The people I know and the people I know nothing about. They are real playa magic.

Every year I take pictures of people I meet there. I don't know who they are, what are their names, where are they from, where did they go to school, what are their jobs, how much money they have or what is their real story. But none of that matters because somehow we connect. Sometimes it's just a smile and that's perfectly enough. Thank you for smiling at me, thank you for talking to me, thank you for hugging me and others around you.

Believe in playa magic with me.
