002 George Post | Photographer In Focus
Today on Photographer In Focus we have George P. Post as our guest. George has photographed Burning Man for the past 23 years starting in 1991. I know no other photographer that has consecutively photographed Black Rock City year after year.
 
George’s photographs have appeared in books, and magazines world wide, including his own book "Dancing With the Playa Messiah A 21 Year Burning Man Photo Album".
 
His work has exhibited at many galleries and museums that showcase the art of Black Rock City including The first major exhibition of Burning Man Art the "Incendiary Exhibition" at the San Francisco Art Commission Gallery also the Burning Man: Photographs and Neon from Black Rock City, Nevada 1992-1999 at The Museum of Neon Art in Los Angeles, CA.
 
George is a long time photographer studio photographer of jewelry, paintings and sculptures pretty much any Arts & Crafts. Among many of his titles George has been the the official on-site studio photographer for the American Craft Council's San Francisco Craft Fair since 1981.
 
I am so honored to bring George Post to to the Focused Audience!
 
In this episode I talk about George's Journey into photography and how he discovered the world of Burning Man so early and what keeps him coming back year after year.
 
This Tuesday as of the posting August 12th George will have a book signing of his book "Dancing With The Playa Messiah" At Book Passage 1 Ferry Building, San Francisco. Go check out a slide show of George's work, say Hi and get a copy of his book signed while your there.
 
As I said, I believe Black Rock City to be the most creative and artistic place on the planet each and every year.
 
In our interview we talk about how the discovery of Burning Man has influenced George's outlook upon the world of art and photography.
 
It all started with a June showing of the neon art of "The Burning Man" in Fort Mason on a barge. From there it was a planned desert road trip that has happened every year since. 2014 will be George Post's 24th visit to Black Rock City, Nevada Burning Man.
