Alright. Thank you for the confirmation.

Trilo,
Is there anywhere on eplaya that is okay to promote a non-profit Burning Man inspired gifting project that is looking for help via crowdfunding?

Thanks, W

Beautiful portraits, Waynerd! What a lovely gift. I checked out your website for some more info and was wondering if you'd considered adding a "where I am now and where I'm headed" section to the "Where and When". I thought it might be interesting for those who could afford your services to know if...

Thank you for looking and commenting.

If you found me and my "Burner Portrait Cart" and I took your photo/stole your soul, you'll want to know that they have all been edited and are online, ready for you to download. All 157 sets! Thanks to everyone for being a part of my gift. Portraits can be found at: http://www.waynerd.net Also, ple...

Hello everyone! I know this is a crazy time of year for all of us but I need to set this here. It's my last ditch effort to fund some upgrades to the photographic lighting on my Burner Portrait Cart. A rudimentary cart I tow behind my bike that helps me gift portraits on the playa. This will be my t...

Sweet Vector! Thanks Vulture!

Hey all, I designed a spin-off logo for my project this year incorporating a subtle extra "CC" for Cargo Cult. If you like it and want to use if for anything at all, just download the zip file (contains an AI File, An EPS and a PNG) from here: http://www.waynestadler.com/BMCC-Logo.zip and go at 'er....

I like some of the ideas here, Time Travel, Past Lives, Water all have my vote.

My two bits is "Safety & Security"

I'd love to see how burners sarcastically strip that down to the smoke and mirrors it is.

Thanks for the replies guys, shortly after my post here I found 12" rebar spikes with loops welded onto them (and even painted black) for $4 a piece. Bought 6, they worked great for my first burn and I will most likely pick a couple more up for spares/extras for next year.

You all rock, Thanks.

All the days you're going to make.

Thank you Savannah, You and a few others I asked about this idea when it was only that, inspired me to run with it. It was fun!

First off, I'm not 100% sure where to post this so if it's better somewhere else please feel free to move it. This is just to let burners know that if they saw me and my cart on the playa and got their portrait taken, they are ALL online now. http://www.waynerd.net http://www.waynerd.net/wp-content/...

My first burn, my eyes are still wide with wonder, my heart is still full. BEST: Almost bloody everything! Meeting and having a wonderful (yet emotional) conversation with David Best on Monday night. My camp mates at Mal Mart. Although we were off doing our own things a lot of the time I really conn...

It was my virgin burn. There was no way I was missing the man burn or the temple burn. Both were amazing and meant so much to me (especially after meeting and having a wonderfully emotional chat with David Best). I left Monday morning at 10am. No stopping, no pulsing, hit the pavement by 11. Was ext...

Hello all you wise veteran burners. I've been looking for precut rebar pieces here and having no luck.W Can't comment on the stakes, but you're really not able to find precut rebar? Where are you? Any Lowes or Home Depot will sell 2 foot long, 0.5 inch thick rebar. Yeah, I've looked at 3 Home depot...

Hello all you wise veteran burners. I've been looking for precut rebar pieces here and having no luck. I did however find large 16 inch stakes BUT they are made of hard plastic but conveniently fluorescent orange. http://thumbs1.ebaystatic.com/m/mg_BHMb3kGTjUpR-M9iAWMA/140.jpg Would these suffice fo...

I'm with Mgb. I'm driving down in my Xterra, which I have already put through more "sleeping tests" then I can count. 4 month road trip across Canada through the WINTER, 4 Month road trip through the Southwest US during summer. I know and fully understand that the playa will be different monster but...

I'm thinking of stopping here on the way in, buying a bike for $55 and then donating it back after the burn. My only worry is that they won't have any left. Anyone else heard of them?

Thanks Savannah! I'm getting more and more excited.

Mine was in my mailbox last night. A little soggy from the thunderstorms but it was there! I'm in a much better mood today.

Thanks Dr. H. I'm hoping so.

I'm in Calgary too. No ticket yet and now it's a long weekend. Have a notification email telling me they were sent on July 19 (no tracking options).

I met this guy http://www.flickr.com/photos/waynerd/5314643490/ in Nevada (outside a little town called Nelson) a couple years back, he was on his way to BM. He hopes to see you there. ;) http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5168/5314643490_8fe508ece7_m.jpg Great use of fisheye, waynerd. Haha thanks. I th...

Thank you guys, I feel reassured. If I even SAW a scorpion, or any kind of freaky desert spider (solifugae *shudders*) I'd scream so loud that my mother back in England would hear. I'm not great with bugs in general, including the ones that pose no actual threat to me. My boyfriend also just said "...

What a great post Tamino. Thank you. I'm with Mids, Freaking out a little but overall just trying to read as much as possible, making and adding to my list. Working on my "art/gift" project and hoping I'm not forgetting something. Meanwhile my already over creative brain is doing back flips and flyi...

If I have room in my vehicle I will bring some drums for your camp, then, we can make some beautiful noise together!

I'd be honored to shoot your wedding if you still need a photographer! I've shot a few weddings, mainly for friends but also do portrait and model work. I've been approved for a media pass to do my "burner portraits" project so to gift you wedding photos would be the icing on my cake. Let me know if...

@vargaso - true, though the alkali dust isn't good for point and shoots either. Historically not much shooting on the playa happens during dust storms (if you look at just what's online, you'd think the weather was fantastic the majority of the time every year), we'll see if that changes this year....

So last November I started a new job doing graphics/web at a company here in Calgary. This company handles EVERYTHING for charity lotteries such as you've all probably seen for Children's Hospitals, Health foundations etc which usually involve large "dreamhome" giveaways and lots of car prizes etc. ...
