“A. Leo Nash is that rare photographer able to find the elegance in anarchy, the harmony in chaos, and the grace in subversion… in short, he is uniquely positioned to be able to fully comprehend and faithfully convey the phenomenon of Burning Man.”
-Tim B. Wride, No Strings Foundation Director
“Nash’s interpretation of the phenomenon that is Burning Man has resulted in memorable and evocative documents of culture that promise to grow in importance over time.”
-Alison Devine Nordstrom, PhD, Curator of Photographs, George Eastman House
“Of the many photographic portfolios that document Burning Man, only Nash’s imagery gives one a true sense of what the festival actually feels like. It is his incisive, panoramic vision alone that provides us with the opportunity to experience at once the heat and light of his desert festival and the light and heat of the human spirit at work and play in the arts…”
-Roy Flukinger, Harry Ransom Center =, University of Texas, Austin
“This book is a loving tribute to the art of Burning Man, offering an open-sky poetry of forms and fragments… Nash has made his own thirteen-year desert pilgrimage and come back with visionary talismans.”
-Daniel Pinchbeck (from his introduction)
