I may have to take a new approach to it all.

Actually arguments are never dull moments either….so, yes….NEVER A DULL MOMENT HERE!

Burn Diary since you mentioned it some time back always sounds exciting. Looking forward to that!
Burn Store sounds pretty awesome too.
More books in the horizon…hell yeah!

It’s going to be interesting seeing you freestyling it in Dubai. I have also never been there but have been close to it and been around similar cultures. I can’t wait to see your take and impressions of it through photos.

Warm greetings from Miami and wishing you all the best for that busiest of a month in March!
I might visit you in May to hopefully make it for the final show of the workshop. Let’s seeeeeeeeeeeeeeee……

Putting a book together with Bob……. his text my images…… with visual imagery having a hard time keeping up with Bob’s words this is not a east task.

Used to often camp on a beach in Mexico that had a lot of ORV traffic. Hated it when I was just lazing around the beach. Loved it when I was doing it. Didn’t consider any possible wildlife impact. Sounds like endangered species are threatened by drivers in OBX and that many ORV drivers are assholes As someone who has often been an ORV driver and has known a lot of them, my anecdotal evidence suggests that the asshole thing is generally true. Sucks when they ruin it for the rest of us.

The ORV controversy here is significant. Threats are often a big part of it.
I have remained neutral. Most all the action is on the Cape Hatteras National Seashore, where vehicles have had access to the beach for years. Now to drive the beach you need to buy a $120 permit, and the areas of access are diminished.
I love beach driving. It gets me places to do some of my photography.
With so many more visitors to the outer banks, it is highly restricted nowadays.

Have just been coming across the cats killing birds problem more and more recently, a couple notable examples from Jonathan Franzen. Was curious since I hear so much about OBX through burn so googled a bit and found the controversy much more about off road vehicles than cats (and feral cats more than house cats). Conservationists being threatened and harassed. Never see ORV’s in David’s photos from there. Is that selective composing or are they not as oppressive as the few articles I’ve read make them sound?

I’m still wearing the Burn prototype ball cap. If I can be of help…

It’s just the nature of some folks to hate cats. Locally they are often persecuted and tortured.
I realize cats can wreak havoc on bird life, and are best kept indoors for their own good. I just don’t have the space.
These were feral born under my house. The mother was killed by a car, and I took them in at 5 weeks.

Does it have something to do with their bird killing nature? A quick google search tells me that there is a big problem with domestic house cats killing endangered birds in the Outer Banks, and pretty much everywhere else. Is it right to keep these predators as house pets if it is true that they are doing so much damage to the OBX environment?

May your cats continue to be safe. As you know I worry about mine.
This past week a neighbor trapped and brutally killed 2 of mine.
I had nurtured them for nearly 3 years, through 3 hurricanes.
They gave me much pleasure, watching them grow, keeping me company.
When I confronted the neighbor, he denied it saying he had not seen them.
The havahart trap baited with a slab of raw fish was incriminating enough.
Not to mention that here were also cat tracks in the area. Denise and I are devastated.
All is not well on the outer banks.
Mike

well we will offer things, but the basic Burn will always be free…..IF somebody wants to buy an Imants book for example, they may…but of course they can always see Imants for free by simply searching here….the things that are expensive here on Burn, are all things that are expensive to produce…just no way around it…and of course we plan, and do plan always, to make things that are for sale more than worth every penny

David Alan Harvey, March 09 2007 writing on RoadTrips about a future blog…

More than sometimes your dreams come true, a lot more than sometimes :))))
Thank you for so many dreams come true.

Any camera you can think of: over $100, often over $1,000

12 pack, Ticonderoga Millenium Cedar Black #2/HB: $5.07

12 pack, Palomino Blackwing 602, $20.00

12 pack, Staples legal pads, $6.79

Altogether, even with the fancy pencils I like, the price of writing is less than a good dinner at the Olive Garden. On the other hand, writing is annoying in the extreme, which photography tends not to be, so in the end all these things even out, I suppose.

About books which are not only a collection of pictures, I have a graphic designer friend who is member of a collective of what they called “Artist Books”. They create art pieces with “some kind of book format”… Someones include pictures, someones not… They can include messages, text, shapes,…
