The Women of Burning Man 2013: Portraits on the Playa
To document my first-ever week at Burning Man, I took portraits of friends, acquaintances, and complete strangers. (That's me at left.) The costumes and face paint helped make the portraits interesting, but that few people felt the urge to put on a fake smile is what made the project a success. These are their faces.
