This year at both the Burn and the Temple Burn, complete pricks decided
they needed to stand in front of long sections of sitting people, no matter
how many times and different ways they were asked. For me, it meant I saw
the back of some guy's head instead of the center of the temple.
However, I will actually say it makes some of the shots more interesting in
a way, but still, I would rather have had the choice.
The burn of the Man was very good this year, in that the focus was on the Man,
not his platform. It was well timed, and breaking with tradition, seemed to
go off without a hitch.
Also included are a number of shots of crew working the "Singularity Machine",
commonly known as the Fire Tornado, by Nate Smith.
