(Arriving into Black Rock City)

As crazy and as wild as Burning Man sounds, My three friends, Tom, Tamara, Catherine and I decided to go for it… Figuring why not?!? We’re young and these are the years when you’re meant to experience mysterious and strange places before settling down… Right??? So 15 hours we drove in our rented RV to Black Rock City with open minds.

Upon arrival we we’re greeted by a fellow Burner at the entrance who made us get out of our RV and hugged us while saying “Welcome Home!” Then instructed us to lie down in the dirt and make dust angels (similar to snow angels) on the ground, kind of like an initiation for first timers… Welcome to Burning Man!

To my surprise Burning Man was not as extreme, scary or dirty as friends had frightened me into thinking. It is near impossible to explain and or describe in one common theme as there is so much going on and so much to participate in.  But I’d like to think of it as a super fun, apocalyptic, neon, playground that Tim Burton could have created on Halloween. Because Burning Man is about freedom of expression and community, everyone is open, friendly and as helpful as can be. I highly recommend going once in your lifetime, it’s one to be added to the bucket list! – Taryn Cox for THE WIFE.

The Temple of Transition is a place of ritual and transition, a place where we both remember and look ahead, a place of ending and beginning.

Our group poses for a photo in front of old T.V. sets. It is a mass of mass media designed to draw the participant in from a distance. At night they are illuminated and simultaneously playing different programs.
