Burning Man 2008: A Photo Essay by Matt Freedman app for iPhone and iPad

Burning Man is not only the worlds most unique and visually spectacular cultural event, but the nexus for a worldwide community that exists all year long. It is a temporary city of 50,000 people which leaves absolutely no trace when it is gone. It is about radical self-reliance in a harsh but incredibly beautiful desert environment, and radical self-expression in a gift-based economy.
