Back in 1999 before there even was a thing called BURNcast we had the supreme pleasure of camping near Julian Cash aka "Super Snail" as well as Dr. Megavolt at Burning Man. Oh, yes, those were the good old days when tickets were less than $60 and attendance was under 10k. Burning Man was better last century!
That year Julian would take photos -- sometimes even nekkid photos -- of people in his tent that he lit like a ginormous softbox. This year he's trying to Kickstart a book out of it. Here's his official word on the project:
This video was created to explain a Kickstarter funding project to publish a photography book entitled "The People of Burning Man" and give a sample of the other world than can be found inside. Currently the book is about 200 pages and includes many thousands of images. We will be doing an offset print run of several thousand copies of the book. By funding this project, you are helping us to create the world where a book like this can exist. For more information:

We spent about a decade documenting the people and culture of Burning Man.
Many of the images celebrate joy and life. Others were created to confront social rules that need to be challenged. Many of the photographs grew from this simple conversation: "How do you want the world to be different?" which was followed with "Let's create an image which will help bring forth that change."
Any nudity shown is part of the artistic expression of Burning Man and not intended in any erotic context.
All photo subjects have signed a image release.
