Photos | Afrika Burns 2008: The Three Burning Men

The First Burning Man was my boyfriend; a nocturnal web developer who hisses when he comes into contact with daylight. The Second Burning Man was a nude cyclist, making determined circuits of the shimmering campsite while tiny butt cheeks became progressively pinker.

Ten People You’re Likely To Meet At Afrika Burns

Drive 500kms into the desert. Pitch a tent. Look around.

Wearing: a pair of shorts and a five-o-clock shadow, even though it’s only 3.30pm. Sayings: “Come park off, chana” and “while you’re up, while you’re up…” The American Volunteer Girl Located: In someone else’s tent, talking.

Sayings: “You see, we’re not all equal. Some of us are more awake and aware than others. Do you see? Are you with me?”
