Again, I didnt study con-law with Father Drinan, but I don't think burning fabric is "speech" because it contributes nothing to the "marketplace of ideas." What if Johnson had held up a sign that said, "Reagan sucks!" It's basically the same message, given the context. How does that fare under your...

Fornicating on the front steps of the US Capitol or burning a flag convey no thoughts or ideas. If the person burning the flag refused to utter a word or write a sentence, the act would be meaningless. (Was the flag burned because the man was insane, the flag contained dust mites, the man was again...

1. flag burning should be legal or illegal depending on the will of the democracy expressed in the form of laws at the local level. The framers of the Constitution used words much more precisely than 7 of 12 Supreme Court justices when they protected "speech" as opposed to "attitude" or "actions." ...

This is probably the offending contraption; gosh, I can't believe this foolproof product would have a "design flaw" though...

Forgot to post the camps:

Sounds good.

I sent three photos to you, one at a time. Let me know if you didn't get them for some reason.

Mike

I have high-resolution versions too, if you want to do anything with them. Let me know and I'll send em to ya.

Your website says you're looking for photographers -- I'd be happy to oblige for a night or two, if you have space for me and a tripod on your vehicle.

I think I got a few shots of something like what you're describing -- is this it? http://flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=234762379&context=set-72157601376590032&size=o http://flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=234762407&context=set-72157601376590032&size=o http://flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=234762424&contex...

RIght -- because we all know how easy it is to make money off photography...

How nice...people bust their asses and spend thousands of dollars to build all the art...then someone else comes along with a camera and snaps pics, puts 'em up on the web and makes money off it? That sucks. And the token 10% donation doesn't make it look any better either. Yeah, someone just "come...

Some of the stuff you're looking for is in my gallery:

The night shots are excellent, and the daylight images have a nice sky gradient. Were you using a tripod and a polarizing filter? I had a tripod at night. Just a clear filter though. Camera was a Nikon D200. I alternated between two lenses - the Nikon 18-200mm VR, and the Sigma 10-20mm. It was a lo...

These pictuers are beautiful. I haven't been to Burning Man since 2004, each year that pass's I miss it more and more, but I am unable to attend. These pictures pulled a heart string and sent memories flying through my head. They are so beautiful Many Blessings, -tears- Thanks -- that means a lot t...

Thanks so much for showing Wizard People. It was actually one of my favorite moments at BM. I honestly haven't laughed that hard in a long, long time. Of course the drugs were definitely helpful in this regard. My apologies to all the people I covered with that vodka-and-cranberry-juice spit-take wh...

^^^ Thanks!

The slide show is cool, but it resizes all the photos to make them smaller, unfortunately.

Tons of shots of Burning Man 2006 at my Flickr site: http://www.flickr.com/photos/71981172@N00/ Click on the thumbnail, and then click on the “ALL SIZES” icon just above the pic to see the full-sized version.

The problem is I'm not sure I'll have a cigarette lighter (I'm renting a van).

^^^ Don't worry, I'm bringin' tons' a goodies!

Is there someplace I can plug into an outlet for about an hour to recharge my camera batteries?

Also, I'll be bringing a nice camera, any tips for protecting it from the dust? I saw the page on using a ziplock bag, which I will try; just wondering if there's any other advice.

thanks
