C. Nicholas Lynch, an old friend & roommate has assembled a few sets of ancient photographs documenting the first few two years (1990 and 1991) of Burning Man in the Black Rock Desert. The photos are great examples of early camp life on the playa. Other photo credits go to Sebastian Hyde, Ann Head, Julia Wharton and a few other roommates from that time. Nicholas and I shared a house (1907 Golden Gate) with many artist and Cacophonists, presided over by Miss P. Segal. It was the location of many Cacophony Society event planning sessions, including “Bad Day at Black Rock, Zone Trip #4” and home to the Marcel Proust Support Group.

Malderor has an extensive collection of photos taken at Burning Man, circa 1991-1995.
The photos of the Man in the Malderor photos “circa 1991-1995″ are from 1993. There are subtle but unique changes in the Mans design each year which enable the dating of photographs from the early years of Burning Man.
I still don’t get Burning Man. I want to voluntarily go out into the desert and get scorched, fried or baked by the Sun and possibly other substances yet there are no live bands?
