Photos to come soon. Thank you @radiategood and @harmonicaco for this amazing opportunity to once again be taught by masters. His holiness the @dalailama is always profound while funny. It was great to be amongst incredible friends as well Thanks @choejor for the photo @brockjpierce @humanexperiencecreations (at Dharamshala, Himachal) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjtHWPurADK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

@harmonicaco and @radiategood have created a once in a life time experience to bring a magical group of people to #dharmasala to explore compassion with the @compassioninst leading mediations, meetings and lectures. @radiategood has pulled out the magic. One of the highlights for me personally is the Platform to give photos to the official @hhdl library. This was possible through the generosity of @harmonicaco and the participants. There will be many more posts about all subjects, but I thought I would start with one that was close to home for me. Swipe through videos to hear story of this particular vignette. Years ago @shannonshiang asked me what I needed to to do feel like I had made it in the photography world. My answer other that say “to take a photo of some one I respect that is very difficult to get to like the @dalailama. “ Thanks to @radiategood and @harmonicaco and @compassioninst a short 6 months later I got the opportunity. @radiategood thank you for vision and gift I am in #dharmasala! I was honored to present these two photographs in large format to be added to HHDL official library that houses relics like his Nobel piece price, congressional medal of honor and much more. Please swipe to the video dedications to hear what I had to say during the moment of dedication. This is a dream come true. I am still trying to process this. Thank you to everyone one involved in making this happen. Thank you Shane Connor’s for your post production magic and thank you @luckyvisualsnyc for producing and managing the process flawlessly to make the prints, mount them in NYC, ship them to 🇮🇳, clear customs, make the frame and deliver them to #dharmasala. Thank everyone including @worldwidetribes for making magic to make this happen. And everyone on this trip for your continued support (tag yourselves in comments). All the love in the world. Most importantly Bodhi papa misses you...There is a message for you if you swipe through the videos on this post. #hhdl #dalailama #compassion #dharamshala (at Dharamshala, Himachal) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjdP5obPuB4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

What is home?   Swipe through the whole set of photos and videos to see the story. Tell me your version in the comments!  Home is a word we all learn as a child with many meanings and connotations.  To go home, to feel at home, to have a home, to be at home, to be homeless, ET phone home.  HOME….an incredibly powerful word that can summon feelings of belonging, security and togetherness.  The hearth of the heart and emotions.   The center of ones existence.  The place where we return every day.  The place go back back to when we die.  All of these begin to approximate the sensations we feel when we utter the word HOME.   This year, for @burningman @shannonshiang and Bodhi (my son) and Laila (bodhis friend) and @lotti_dotti_da (our family friend) and myself participated in making a time capsule that represented #home. It was part of @gordonweiss #art project which is a form of a treasure hunt.  #Maps are given out in the form of stickers and handkerchiefs, to people out that the burn.  Those participants can go and look for the buried treasure in deep playa.  I don’t want to give away too many hints as to how to find it because it is a multiyear game.   When you find the treasure, you will find the time-capsules that have been created over the years as well as a log book.  Signing that logbook puts people into a small yearly group that manages to venture beyond their comfort zone into the elements and find the treasure.  They will receive the gratification of seeing artists expression for that year in the form of time capsules as well as the message, while also entering into a multi year scavenger hunt that may or may not bring them to the next stages of treasures.  It’s all a fun mystery.   This year I was also late delivering the piece to the playa so I had to go out there in the mid-day heat and dig it in myself with Gordon after all of the others were already placed.  Let’s just say that with this year’s heat, it was quite a feat   If you made it there at night and stood still long enough it would light up and spell home in the darkness for you.      What’s home to you? #burningman #stars @crystal__wuwu @wucreations @zeff_._     (at Burningman.

More amazing art. The #forest by @laurakimpton and the SKUM cloud by @bjarkeingels and @jakob_lange At @burningman #burningman #thankslarry The Forest of Dreams is formed of 40 trees, 10ft tall, all made of steel. The trees are to be arranged on a square grid, 10 trees by 10 trees, placed in concentrically smaller grids and culminating in an open area at the center. The forest will be bathed in dancing LED lights of multitude of colors shining through the shaped cutouts in the trees. SKUM is a large inflatable sculpture mimicking foam, clouds or formations of distant universes. SKUM is the Danish word for foam–a word that encapsulates the installation’s playful dialogue & interaction between burners and their surrounding landscape. SKUM–like foam-is at once physical & ethereal. #cloud @burningmanphotos #burningmanphotos (at Burningman. Black Rock City) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ci02rlcvFg0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This piece was amazing. By @tigrebailando at @burningman ‘Facing the Fearbeast’ is a project about facing the #fears that hound us, both externally and internally. A snarling #monster of claws and #teeth and #nightmares looms over a lone #child, who faces the monster with dignified #courage. The #Beast itself represents both the actual dangers that threaten us from outside as well as the complex of traumas, self-deceits, & phobias that exists within and perpetuates the many miseries that humans deliver upon each other and themselves. The Child figures represent both the Wounded/traumatized child that is often at the core of many of humanity’s most destructive and violent behavior, as well as the Healing child that is both vulnerable and powerful in their creativity and capacity for love. #burningman #sunrise (at Burningman.

What was your favorite art piece this year? Let me know in comments. Also if you know the name of that triangle plank we walked across in lower right corner and the artist name, it would be much appreciated. The #burningman Kaleidoscope of art is so surreal that you could think you are seeing #Dali paintings come to life … and that is because you are. The Hommage au Dali by @jackchampionart is set against the #sunset along with the "Sonic Sphere" by @kugelauditorium from London and @thomasoduffy @burningman @burningmanphotos #elephants #dali (at Burningman.

Sometimes the gift of a magical #sunrise only lasts a few fleeting minutes. It’s is a painted sky given as a gift before it vanishes as quickly as it came. #clouds in particular add to spectacular colors during the rise only to become the curtains of grey during an overcast day. This was one sunrise that did #takemybreathaway This installation by @steeleism was set up in #mongolia during our trip there. Thank you Namona and @isaiah_martin_ultrafi @sarahsivrobbins for an incredible time #colors #nature https://www.instagram.com/p/CgLOPM8LTun/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I took a 1.5 hour hike to the top of #greatsanddunesnationalpark with my backpack full of gear that weighs 60lbs. The climb is barefoot through Saharan style sand dunes. I have to admit I was pretty winded since we left with only 1.5 hours to sunset. I had to hike the whole way and made it with 5 mins to spare. If it had not been for my friends 7 year old son hiking with me and not showing fatigue I would have quit two times. But thanks to his smile and desire to reach the top. I made it to take these photos. #sunset #desert #sanddunes #clouds #cloudscape #whatmycamerasees (at Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve) https://www.instagram.com/p/Celu2HYuJSO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

See the @robotheartfoundation bus off the playa and in Central Park was nothing short of surreal. It took a team fueled by love and passion to pull off such a feat. An incredible celebration that brought many nyc families back together to dance enjoy and honor of Geo. Thank you to everyone in the RH community that made this possible for all of us. All of the love and respect. Here is a collection.

The dust is on my mind. @bunringman I’m looking forward the art in all ways. Sculptural, interactive, performance and human tapestry. This is a photo I took of @ewascallie and @_hodafadel_ wearing incredible creations by @adampollinax after our installation burned down. Adam created a whole custom world we were bringing to life as performance art and it was going to be immortalized as a graphic novel to share. #burningman #style #fashion #stylish #burningmanfashion #festivalfashion #festivalwear #customdesign #custommade #creative #postapocalyptic (at Burning Man) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbpwhCKr--Q/?utm_medium=tumblr
