Howdy! I'm Erich

Post by erock502 » Wed Jul 31, 2013 12:55 pm

I'm getting older and I am opening myself up to new experiences, shedding fear and low self esteem learning to myself and the world. The burn will be a major piece in this process I grew up in a small town in Kansas and now live in LA and have for 16 years. I drove out here with everything I owned in a broke down Celica it literally broke down when I got here. I doing well as an artist and photographer. I love to travel, I have been many many places and have long since wanted to got to Burning Man. This is the year I will make it happen! I have become acquainted with a few burners. I feel this is a na experience I must have and will capture amazing images! Here are some of my work if anyone cares to look

Hi Erich! I really like your Abandoned Kansas photo set. Really beautiful.

Below is the Burning Man Photographer's Guide, in case you haven't seen it. Always ask permission of anyone recognizable, and
If you are planning on using your photographs for any purpose other than simply sharing with friends and family, you must obtain written permission from Black Rock City LLC, the organization that runs Burning Man. You need to register with them in advance of the event, and check in upon arrival to sign a Use Agreement and have a media tag put on your camera.
Etc!

You're in for an adventure! I hope you come back afterwards and tell us how it went.

Welcome to the board. :D

Then I realized that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me
