Did I accidentally crash some little club? I'm sorry, but I didn't whine, I merely asked some very legitimate questions about a very very very odd contract that I was expected to follow. And where is this assumption that I am seeking anything from anyone? Very touchy aren't you. As I have said, I do...

Hold on... Before I ever said Weekend Warhol I was told, in no uncertain terms to "fuck off." I was also to that BM wasn't a good platform for contemporary fine art. I explained my side and said that while it is mostly Weekend Warhols (and I said it was a blunt term), I was going to do my thing, etc...

[quote="mudpuppy000"]If all this lack of control bothers you so much, maybe burning man isn't your thing. Arguing about it is just tilting at windmills. edit: yeah what minxy said. :)[/quote] Actually my concern is with the utter amount of control a third party would have over my work. And yes, appa...

Actually the way the contract is written, I would have to get my gear registered anyway! Also, to be honest, if I am going to spend the cash to haul my installation 3,000 miles I am going to take pictures of it.

Actually I feel that the rules put in place are very open to exploitation. Not that this has actually happened yet. One can pick nits about all of this, and what is exploitation and how much bokeh one needs before you aren't exploiting that camp 300 feet behind you, etc. But that is what it is, nit ...

[quote]Wow, haven't had an indignant photographer in here for a while. Welcome to Burning Man! Now go the fuck home![/quote] Nice attitude. So let me get this straight... Someone who is a working artist comes here and nicely says, "Hey this is antithetical to me making work," when Burningman claims ...

I am well versed in the model release. You seem to have missed the point. My issue is not with respecting people's rights to be photographed or not. I have no issue with that policy and thus never mentioned it. My issue is that it seems under that contract that if I was to go there and take any imag...

Hello - I looked, but couldn't quite find what I was looking for regarding my particular concern here, but please, pardon me if this has been covered and I missed it. I am a working artist and my focus is on installation and photography. Art is my full time job, and I also teach art at the universit...
