so a guy from the burning man blag was out shooting as we were setting up on sunday night. here is his little write up with a pic of my project. it is the 8th photo down of the totem pole/cactus. he had been there a month documenting the building of the city. His name is John Curly. He was super nice and had a beautiful lady friend with him.

So I'm hanging out in vegas now... the bf is pist off thinking I screwed around, he's now gone. the best friend has abandoned me. They both think I'm crazy, or something, but honestly i think I'm finally me again and that somehow scares the shit out of them?
Should be in for quite a ride.
Have any of you had to deal with similar difficulties once u get back to default? Am I wrong for fighting for the true me to stay alive? Does that make sense?! Lol- did someone take the blue pill on the playa?sadpanda
- I don't recall colored pills other than the skittles.sea_sea
- yes, you shed your skin and get closer to your real self and that scares people around you.robotron3k
- BM does that indeed, we all need a good skin shedding every few years.robotron3k
- i like that visual robo. that's actually quite accurate. thanks.sea_sea

his best friend or your best friend?
fuck em. if being being honest and true to who you are (which i assume you are a nice person from what i've know from QBN) isn't good enough for them? fuck em.
I bet he is just paranoid if he didn't go with you. Which actually seem normal to me. how ever he still needs to grow up.and over all, relationships are over rated... fml...
- Thanks pango, I like u. Lol
I do think some people have a hard time around happy people sometimes though. Its weird.sea_sea - It's like when u say hi to someone in the street and they look at u like ur a walking disease.sea_sea
- Oh and I was talking about my best friend. Interestingly this experience has brought to light. Aspects of our friendship we must deal with in order to move on.sea_sea
- Must deal with now in order to move our frienship forward. I'm just amazed at all the lessons I've had to deal with in the last 2 weeks.sea_sea
- 2 weeks or so. Pretty interesting.sea_sea
- sometimes you gotta burn shit to the ground to make room for new growthscarabin
- yeah!! burn shit to the ground! who doesn't love that! scara is saying what we're all thinking!!pango

- awe I need to go back next year.robotron3k
- robo! do it! :)sea_sea

I don't know about you guys, but people around me right now are feeling the love and wondering what happened to me out there. I told them this happens every year but they just don't notice it. It is amazing when i go to hug people that i don't really know and they are very standoffish until the hug happens and you can feel them let go. I fucking love this feeling. I wish i could hug you spike, sea-sea, seffis and hope.
- sea_sea0
I here ya. Concider yourself hugged back my friend. :)
I've been getting some weird looks and I think I scared the shit out of some guy when I came up to him and introduced myself at some point. Lol but for the most part what I notice is that just like on the playa, allowing urself to be free somehow allows others to do the same. that energy carries over and people seem to love it.
We need more of this. Miss u guys like crazy.

Hey sea_sea. why are poeple freaking out again?
you are still you right? i don't get it...
- sea_sea0
hahaha yes, i'm still me, more than ever if you ask me. there's just this energy everyone i encounter has commented on. it's pretty interesting, i never expected this. when i first got back, even i was having a hard time recognizing myself. not sure how to explain it. but there was a definite change of some sort. some people respond immediately in a good way and some are totally thrown thru a loop. i guess it's just a little harder to digest for certain people.
it's made me really aware, of how we interact energetically with people and how we affect each other by doing so.

does your camera get messed up from all the dust?
- sea_sea0
my camera is fine, but i did see a ton of people with wrapped cameras to avoid the dust. i'm sure it can get messed up especially if your changing lenses, i took a film changing bag for the same reason but after one trip to the playa, i retired my large format camera to camp and carried a point and shoot everywhere i went. sure i sacrificed pixels and quality, but in reality whatever i captured was enough to help take me back. i had way to much fun to worry about a camera. i know capn_ron carried his nice camera around without a wrap too and he seemed fine about it.
next year, the plan is to take a nicer point and shoot maybe something like the G10, where i can stil play with exposures yet easy enough to carry everywhere. after a while everything weighs you down, the lighter you roll the better!
- just get a S95 its the same internals as a G10 but smaller. same controls toosofakingbanned
- there you go, or the S95 :) definitely sticking with canon. thnx.sea_sea
