Burning Man is a unique art festival and gathering that takes place north of Reno in the Black Rock Desert. My Burning Man pictures give you an idea of what it's like, but Burning Man is one of those events that defies description; you've got to go to fully understand Burning Man. There is nothing else like Burning Man. The Burning Man Festival is held in one of the most remote and inhospitable places on Earth.
