Introduction
Burning Man is a week-long annual event held in the Black Rock Desert in northern Nevada, in the United States. The event starts on the Monday before the American Labor Day holiday, and ends on the holiday itself. It takes its name from the ritual burning of a large wooden effigy on Saturday evening. The event is described by many participants as an experiment in community, radical self-expression, and radical self-reliance.
Burning Man is organized by Black Rock City, LLC. In 2010, 51,515 people attended Burning Man. The theme was “Metropolis”
The Photographer Hector Santizo has visited the Burning Man event and has agreed to share his wonderful pictures with us. You can find out more about Hector at his website: santizo.com. This article contain photos from the 2010 Event. [24 Pictures]
