Getting In Contact / Photos

[jennajennalk]

This burn was my first and it was A-MA-ZING. I thankfully took my camera and got a ton of photos. The only downside of taking pictures of people is not being able to share them because I don't have their info.

I met so many incredible people at Burning Man but never got their contact info (who on the playa carries a pen, paper or a PDA?). Anyone have any luck getting in contact with people months later? Whether via Facebook or LinkedIn or whatever. It'd be cool to hear some stories.

Here are the photos I took I wanted to share with you guys. If you recognize yourself or your friends, please let me know (especially if you want the photo taken down). I'd love to put a name to the face. :D

For next time, you can make up cards with playa name and email, other information as you please. I do try to bring pad and pen. (Felt tip is best. Sharpies don't come thin enough for me, but there are other brands that work.)

In some cases you might be able to get them to write down their info just before the shot, if you can play it right, you can use it as a way to get them to relax.

I think I'll definitely bring a pen and paper in 2011. This year, my brother made up little cards with contact info and gave them to everyone I took photos of, but the response rate was low, probably cause it's easy to lose a card.

Go to your profile and uncheck the box that says "Disable BBCode" and you'll get the embedded quote thing to work.
