EDITOR’S NOTE:
this is a guest post by Lassal and Haik, two BURN participants who have organized a birthday surprise from all involved with BURN Magazine…
After a few weeks of conspiracy, Lassal’s and Civi’s unrelated cryptic comments it is time to unveil.
Operation “BURN plot” was made by BURNIANS for BURNIANS and is to celebrate BURN’s first birthday.
Happy birthday to BURN. David, thank you for making BURN a reality and thank you for making it a home for us.
We present BURNIANS.COM – the site dedicated to celebrate BURN magazine by all BURNIANS. Most of us have put a little into the site and it became big. BIGGER than we could imagine.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO BURN – FROM BURNIANS !!!
Please join and share your day and celebrations with the rest of us by emailing your photos to live(at)burnians.com.
With the rest of BURNworld … With the rest of BURNians …
Nice work by Lassal, Haik and Civi! Thanks for putting this together. Glad I could participate.
Happy birthday Burn. Hope you’ve just scratched the surface.

Great work , looks fantastic.
Happy birthday.
John
Lassal, Haik, and Civi…
Words fail.
Just… well done, well done, well done!
happy b-day to Haik, and all!
Glad my tattoo idea fell through. Looks like a couple other people had the same idea, and Gyula Sopronyi’s image looks great.
Congrats! My crap obviously stank too much to make the final cut. No surprise. One of these days I hope to learn how to make a keeper.

Lasaal, Civi & Haik
Well done!!!
OOPS!!! Thanks Brian! Let me amend my statement then: My eyes are full of crap. One of these days I hope to learn to see! (He said, slinking away in shame!)
Great job Lassal and Haik.
You guys worked your asses off for this and it shows.
Thanks for doing this.
Thanks Lassal for finding us and keeping the project moving forward.
Happy Birthday Burn.
Happy Birthday Haik, son of Burn.
Great interview Civi!
Just on my way out IN THE SNOW to meet up with Mimi, srinivas, Paul Treacy and Armando Ribeiro.. and whoever else braves the weather to show up. Have a good night wherever you are.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BURN and congrats to ALL BURNIANS!!!!
LASSAL/HAIK, you guys ROCK!!!! You nailed it!!! the few sleepless nights were very worth it!!!! I just spent the last 20 minutes looking at the BURN moments… there are so many special moments, parties, editing sessions… what a collection… cannot wait to see the pics from tonight parties…
Thanks DAVID and ANTON for making it all possible and creating this unique community….
Cheers,
Eric
I got up a bit early this morning, still thinking that it was yesterday, that the 21st would not come until tomorrow. I got up early because I have a noon deadline to prepare a package of photos that, rightfully, I should spend the next two days preparing. Opened up my computer and saw this…
Now I have just spent the past hour viewing every photo, reading every word.
I have one hour less to get the job done. Better get to it.
Great fun this is – and look how many of us are now published on Burn!
Thank you Lassal, Haik – and of course, DAH!
I, for one, think you have done a great thing – and you have inspired me, as you will soon see.
Guys … on the road right now, will check back later.
Hope you enjoy our little fan site :)
BTW, as you can see, we are still expecting some submissions.
Please email your BURNpicture either Haik or me … and we will put it online.
Not sure how long the site will be up, 3 days or a week … So if you still want your picture in, please hurry!
Thanks to EVERYBODY!!! This would not have made sense without all of you.
(more later … Christmas market right now)
ENJOYYYYYYYY and upload live pics please!!!
LASSAL, LASSAL,LASSAL,LASSAL…
SPEECHLESS … !!!
What not to kiss you!!!
Where is David?
Will not join?
DAMN! :))))))))))
who’s that hot photographer/babe on my shoulder?? ;))))))))))))))))

OFF FOR A DRIVE :))

Happy Birthday, BuRN! It’s pretty safe to say that being part of the BuRN community and having the chance to learn from DAH has helped to shape my photographic vision and the way I interpret what I see. I am a better photographer for being part of this community. Thank you! Congratulations! I can’t wait to see what year 2 will bring!
Happy Birthday, Haik!
Yes…Haik..happy birthday..
although you are sad coz u reached the magic number 60…its ok…
u have 40 more to go..i hope u’ll be Burning and conversing till you get 100..

who’s that hot photographer/babe on my shoulder??
———————————-
Yeah, get rid of that glass, turn your head around, and pay attention to her…. coz if U don’t treat her right…..
YOU’RE GONNA LOSE THAT GIRL!:
LASSAL & HAIK
What you have created is simply amazing!!! I have already spent hours looking at the pics on burians.com and have barely scratched the surface. Please keep it up for longer than a week. Why can’t it stay forever? I’d be happy to donate $$ to help out. It is SUCH an historic document…
CIVI
WHAT NOT TO LOVE re: your interview!!!
hugs
Patricia
Congratulations David on the first birthday of your burn baby! Patricia once said to me that burn is the only photographic community she belongs in. Well, same here. It’s amazing how an entire global community of photographers have joined in on the journey.
Thank you Haik and Lassal for working tirelessly on the “burnians” birthday present. It looks great!
But most of all; thank you David for the amount of time and energy you have put into this site and the photographers who have become part of burn.
Cheers
Patricia…
I think that Lassal was talking about submissions, being open for another week…
After all, she and Haik put so much work in to this, that they wouldn’t take it down if you paid them…
:))
Herve! :)))))))))))))))))))))
TRUE DAT! :))))))
now, i put all my attention there :))))
hugs
bob

Congratulations to all of you who got this up and running, I can feel your excitement :)
Happy Burnthday to all!
Thank you David and Anton for dreaming BURN so hard… thank you Lassal and Haik (happy birthday!) for putting up burnians.com… I raise my glass of Cold1/Glühwein/ouzo to us!
Cheers
Sending more bummed-DAHt (or burn-DAHt) shots, Lassal. David is a werewolf, Dr Jekill and Mr DAH….

LASSAL ….HAIK….
i knew something was up, but could not figure out what in the world was going on…many many thanks for simply thinking of all this….sorry i am checking in so late, but this birthday time coincides with my family time, so i just have not been online since my early morning post…
my mother says hello to all and i might even convince her to drop a line or two at some point….she just recently got wifi and is learning how to make everything work on the computer…she learns fast…and she is only 90…
her question and my question are the same: whose baby is that??
cheers, hugs, david

Happy Birthday Burn and thanks to David and the burnians for the visual inspirations!
Dear Friends..
I cannot help but feel a part of Burn in some way since David started it right here in my home. He has always had this special passion. You haven’t lived until you have met my son David Alan Harvey in person.
I really enjoy seeing your photography here and reading your words. I will drop in here from time to time.
My best to all of you and Merry Christmas.
Maryanna Harvey
I can well imagine Mrs Harvey. As they say, what goes around comes around. So, sure something rub’s off when your in someone’s company. Nicely done.
