I just created a new photo set on Flickr.com - enjoy these pictures of Nowhereland in May!

I'm very excited by the idea of going NOWHERE 2008 this year again, after exploring and starting connecting with the Euroburners at NOWHERE 2007 last year.Actually, I can't wait to go back to NOWHERE this year, as I already paid a visit to Nowhereland a couple of weeks ago, a field survey to check out the new, ultra-secret site, as I'm planning a land art intervention for next month's event. Want

A Christmas Burn in Rome with fireworks by the Italian Burners!Orseolo and friends organized last Friday an amazing party in Rome, and we had Italian Burners coming from all over Italy to celebrate a Burning Christmas together! Check out some pictures from the RED party, just click on the image to get to the proper Flickr.com photo album.The party started at 8pm on a tram that normally hosts a

Damn, I travel too much, and I end up being on the other side of the world when I want to be somewhere else. Or to be in the right place, but at the wrong moment. As for London...I was in London on November 15, for about a week. I spent 4 days in London, then rent a car to drive all the way South-West to Stonehenge, and then South to Portsmouth. Nice trip - a lot of rain, though... and when I

Did you know that Black Rock City actually has a post office? Burning Man IS a real city, not an Utopian place, and its zip code is 89412!!! If you look for it on Google Maps, you can even spot Black Rock City's location, but you have to zoom in and look very carefully to spot it.This is how the Playa looks like from above with Google Maps, and a decent zoom - it was not easy to spot the exact

It was inevitable - after hanging out with the Euroburners at Nowhere 2007 I ended up camping this year with the Euroburners. Well, after all, I'm European too, and a burner! I guess this makes me an Euroburner too...It really has been a chance, my friend Paul decided not to set up the Hammock Hangout this year, Flaming Lotus Girls were too tired from an entire year traveling the world with the

Check out the 8-set, thousand pictures collection of Burning Man 2007 pictures I created online to share my Playa shots.I also prepared this Euroburners photo collection for my campmates at the Quixote Cabaret Camp & Green Man Pub.Enjoy Burningmax's Burning Man pictures!

Well, actually video, not videos - just one video, as I accidentally deleted other videos and pictures by using an old, corrupted smart card for my camera. Shit happens....Anyway, I'm pretty happy that this silly video survived - this was one of the nicest moments, with an impromptu small Jamon party threw by a group of cool Euroburners from Madrid, that immediately grew with many people, silly

After several summers spent in California, this year I finally managed to spend a beautiful European summer, hanging out in Italy, France and Spain - and of course, since I was around, I couldn't miss NOWHERE, the European Burning Man event managed by the crazy posse of the Euroburners, with which I finally hooked up after many BM connections in California and United States.NOWHERE rocks. There

I LOVE Flaming Lotus Girls, one of the most creative posse on the Playa... and beyond! I always enjoyed Flaming Lotus' work, since I hit the Hand of God on the Playa back in 2003. And then there was the Angel of Apocalypse last year - awesome. I still remember the Friday night party with the Space Cowboys soundsystem (the mighty Unimog), but this year they really moved forward, and created the

Here are all my pictures from Burning Man 2006, as usual arranged within several Flickr.com photo albums. This year it has been a weird year, after the intensive commitment of last year with the Hammock Hangout.I believe this has been the first year where I could have just hang out with no much camp responsibilities. I parked my RV at the crazy camp of the Pirates of the Playa, a bunch of cool

My good friends from the Roman advertising agency xister asked me to write an article / editorial on - guess what? Burning man, of course. At the beginning I was not so sure - I still believe Burning Man has to be experienced, not told. But then I put all my experience together, and I tried to surrogate it in a Wikipedia-style article, rich of links and references - pretty much like this blog.

Planning, preparing, setting up, running and tearing down the Hammock Hangout this year has certainly been my biggest commitment to the Burning Man experience to date.Not only because it has been a huge work, but also because the work has been done mostly with the smallest team ever: 2 people!!! well, sometimes even 3, and in some cases we had a great support from our BM family, specially in

A better year for my BM pictures, also in coincidence with my final passage to my new Sony digital camera (coming from Panasonic digital / Lumix) and, of course, to the wider availability of 1Gb smart cards!Enjoy the several photo sets I arranged in this Burning Man 2005 photo collection on Flickr.com!

Burning Man celebrates this year its 20th anniversary, and I will go back to good old Black Rock City for my third burn.A couple of weeks before leaving San Francisco, I got a call from a journalist of the San Francisco Chronicle, who was putting together a special for the web, called Faces of Burning Man.Let's see if you recognize a familiar face in the picture - also click on the image to

My second Burning Man experience, barely contained in these Burning Man 2005 photo albums on Flickr.com. This year no art installations, I preferred to hang out more within the community helping the guys from Greeter Camp, and starting a great friendship with the G-Spot Camp fellas. Check out the pictures!!!I think you should check out the Greeters' website (from where I grabbed the cool picture

My very own first burn, Burning Man 2003, has been a revelatory experience - too much energy to be reported with words. New horizons, and not only those of the beautiful Nevada desert, but new paths of creative wisdom that suddenly revealed everywhere, inside out me. I created my own official Playa installation, of course using my beloved medium, the little yellow sticky post it notes. The
