Tea ceremony at Burning Man 2007
Erick Leskinen
Erick was the photographer at Aster Place Imagine at 2007 Burning Man, see Erick's Wiki by clicking on the link above. After two and half years, Erick has finished working for Maine Photographic Workshops and Rockport College as their Digital Technology Manager in Rockport Maine, a non-profit organization. Erick has moved to Michigan. Erick's passion of photography started in the 1970's. He has enjoyed photographing a wide range of subjects including: landscapes, nature, wildlife, and people. Photography is also an integral part of his enjoyment of travel and outdoor adventure. Erick's study of photography has included attending professional workshops, working with other photographers, and by doing! One of Erick's areas of expertise is Environmental Portraits - capturing a person's essence in their own environment whether it is work, living, or play. In 1979, I was looking to purchase a 4X5 view camera and I didn't know which one to get. When I saw Ansel Adams on the cover of Time magazine with a Horseman 4X5 view camera, I ordered my camera that week. When I found myself needing a camera a little more portable, I got a Zone VI 4X5 field camera.
Hi Erick … I just left you a message on your voicemail about this magnificent photograph.
I’ve sent some electronic messages about this, and I understand it’s an unusual request.
If you haven’t gotten any messages let me know. 🙂
In any case … this is a spectacular photograph … and could be more culturally significant than might imagine.
Hello Erick,
It’s now 2013 and I was thinking about my experience at Burning Man in 2007. Decided to look at some of pictures on the web. Well, that’s me! Thank you for capturing such a special moment, in such a special way. I did not have any photographs of the event – living in the moment – but your series brought back so many memories. Your talent is exceptional! I wish you success and if you return to Burning Man this year, I look forward to your eye through the lens. Peace and best wishes.
Hi Qat,
Thank you for the kind words about the photograph I took of you at Tea ceremony at Burning Man 2007. I am going to Burning Man 2013 this year. I hope to see you there.
Breathless! I can’t say that enough. In the last seeavrl years I have learned that the times in our lives that live closest to our hearts (both good, bad sad) earthly words cannot express what our soul is saying. Spencer is able to caputre some of that through these photos. Please enjoy his blog in it’s entirety. Spencer thank you for making this day frozen in time for my brother sister! Bonnie (big sis)
