As I scanned the various categories none really seemed to fit.
Yes Burning Man was inspirational in that it brought me closer to self. I had a few revelations while wandering the sandy playa.
It also left me extremely grateful for the people I know and the new I met. I have days where I wonder how tomorrow will be and how I will impact the world even if it's just my tiny piece. Burning Man allowed me into the world of of techies who are working to change the here and the now while developing technology and information resources that will allow my Davison to expand and grow into places I never had the opportunity to consider.
This was my first burn. It won't be my last.
I did get burned Father Sun kisses me a bit hard.
Mostly though I was amazed by the minds around me and the creative geniuses. I have now met more NASA employees than . . . well I never thought I would meet many . . . now my business card is in several pockets. The people were amazing.
Here is a window into the minds I met. It's only a window . . . I can't begin to describe these amazing creatives with words - they are an experience in themselves!
My favorite pictures are Rich Gibson's gigapans (I'm biased I am told) anyway he took at least 45 of them, a few are up but more will come. The interior of the temple is amazing.

You can zoom in on the Man's heart and read most of the signatures and inscriptions. (this is a draft stitch - the final stitch should get rid of most of the vignetting).
The Burning Man Earth crew did a fabulous job on pictures including many from kites, airplanes and even a crane. They had a map of the city in Garmin format, so you could actually do things like navigate to a specific Art piece.
Andrew 'Haggis' captured texture maps on the Playa. He also was the instigator of Burning Man Earth. He is in several of the gigapans. So look for Haggis or Andrew being listed.
Tom had modified a tricycle bike to hold a camera with a 360 degree camera/lens. I haven't seen the pics online yet but the ones on his computer were great!
Mikel Maron did kite aerial photography, including this awesome image from directly above the man. (https://flickr.com/photos/mikel_maron/2804414259/)
Jeff went up flying and captured pretty complete aerial imagery of the city as it grew. He also took quite a few gigapans as well as many more photos so keep an eye on him as well! https://tinyurl.com/555fam (https://www.gigapan.org/viewProfile.php?userid=4934)
From the wonderful geeks of the plaza!
