2BLEVE, Black Rock City, NV 2006
1/160 s | f/6.3 | iso 160@50mm
This photo is of two 5 ft tall, spherical tanks, presurized to 200 PSI with Gasoline, Propane, Kerosene, Diesel, and whatever else will burn. The artists set the top of the tanks on fire, placed lit road flares above the fire (secondary ignition), and then opened the valves all the way. The ensuing fireballs shot about 6 stories high, and drenched us with radiant heat at 300 yards away.
More Burning Man 2006 Photos coming soon!
I had a good time at Burning Man this year. I worked a bit too much (three 12 hour shifts + one 5 hour shift, all graveyard) as an EMT supervisor. Since all my shifts were at night, I didn’t much sleep either… Still, I got out and had a damn good time, albeit with less art photography and less stories. Unpacking took me about 2 days of solid work; undusting will take 358. Or more.
I ran into Nic from DPW (4th of JuPlaya), though she didn’t seem to remember me.
I also met a cutie from Seattle.
Yea, it was a good week.
