I’m proud to share my first photo journalism essay, via @insider about my experience at @burningman this year! Thanks so much to @petergelling for encouraging me to put this piece together, coaching me, and editing. You can find a link to the full piece in my bio. Here is the opening text: “I'm David Kong, a 12-year attendee of Burning Man and a member of the Robot Heart camp, one of the many thousands of camps at Burning Man. It's a beautiful Monday on playa and the sun is out, finally, after nearly three days of rain, mud, and an utterly unforgettable experience. Internet has been sporadic, and I've seen some sensational headlines. But, in my experience these past few days, I've seen our community rally together with our trademark burner resilience, joy, humor, and love. For those that don't know, Burning Man occurs, by design, in harsh desert conditions, where we prepare to endure extreme heat, dust, and all of the hardship that comes with it. And we do it together. We survive and thrive as a community and a city. The rains and mud were, of course, historic — but just another challenge for us to face, another occasion for us to rise to meet. These photographs provide a glimpse of that story.” . . . . . . . . . . —————————————- #NoMudNoLotus #burningman #burningman2023 #Insider #drowningman #mudman #blackrockcity #brc #artcar #mutantvehicle #robotheart #burningmanfashion #burnergirls #burnerettes #industwetrust #animalia @burningman.art @burningman.world @burningmanfashion_
