Tuesday’s premature immolation of Burning Man has been awakening many of the event’s old-timers. Kevin Evans, who was part of the original crew who helped bring Burning Man to the Black Rock Desert in 1990, has uploaded a bunch of great photos from Burning Man 1990-1995. For more on the early history of Burning Man in the desert, see my previous write up on Burning Man 1990 aka Bad Day At Black Rock (Cacophony Society Zone Trip #4).

UPDATE: Danger Ranger uploaded a bunch of great photos from Burning Man 1990.
