Tony's been busily updating the project blog with more shots from Burning Man.

Trout Salad (Tony's Blog)

One of our Easel Park-mates (I guess his REAL name is Richard, but he'll always be Senor Rico to me) came by yesterday and dropped off a disk filled with more & better shots of the piece-- he was there at a moment without the strong shadows, and miraculously without a lot of people standing in front (though those are fun shots to see, as well!).

I'm working up a proposal for a possible local show which would include not only this 'Game' piece, and last years as well-- if there is ceiling clearance--(with the spinning wheel it requires about 14 feet height); but would include other art from Burning Man. I've talked to amazing photographer and friend Don Jackson (when we met him at BM last year he was there on assignment for Rolling Stone) about showing some large format prints-- and also last night I heard from creators (Jeremy Lutes, Kevin of Sunbrothers, et al) of the 'Lily Pond'-- anyone on the playa for the 'Floating World' theme year remembers & loves this piece-- about trying to re-create this within a gallery setting. It would be very cool. (Though it's designed to run on solar, and how that would work indoors-- we'll see.)
