John Curley (that's me) has been Burning since the relatively late date of 2004, and in 2008 I spent the better part of a month on the playa, documenting the building and burning of Black Rock City in words and pictures. I loved it, and I've been doing it ever since.
I was a newspaper person in a previous life, and I spent many years at the San Francisco Chronicle. At the time I left, in 2007, I was the deputy managing editor in charge of Page One and the news sections of the paper. Since then, I've turned a passion for photography into a second career. I shoot for editorial, commercial and private clients. I've also taught a little bit, including two years at UC Berkeley's Graduate School of Journalism and a year at San Francisco State University.
I live on the San Mateo coast, just south of San Francisco in California.
Beautiful images. Thanks for hanging in there and posting!
All is well at home. The cats miss you all! Nobody loves them properly or fully appreciates their fuzzy tummies when you are away. The toy mousies lose their flavors.
We will soldier on, and there will be showers, hot, tasty meals and clean, soft beds waiting for you when you get home.
Love,
– Silver

Enjoy your Burn to-nite….best way’s to step out from the crowd and watch from afar…after you’ve soaked in the ambiance of pre-burn crowds…
